The situation in the middle east is not good, there are hundreds of scenarios that could unfold, and this is just one of them. I think that anyone who reads it can see that this is a realistic scenario, and it shows what is at stake and also how the middle east and America's regional policy there will effect the rest of the world.

It plays out very much like a story. It appears like a very gloomy scenario, but it is also reasoned out. I agree that the reprecussions of simply giving up could be terrable--but not b/c of a regional war--but because of Islamists ultimately ending up without any obsticles in the M.East. Even if Iraq is currently a mess, that doesnt change the fact that Islamism is still actively striving against the West. And it must be confronted. And that starts with confronting Iran.
