I can't. The US is too deeply in debt to afford to go back. Iraq will be left to decay into a bunch of warring factions for the next decade or two.
The US will try to put pressure on other countries to move in, but I can't see anyone all that willing who's got a military large enough to make a difference. We might also see UN peacekeepers, but as usual they'll be woefully short of manpower and hamstrung by ROE.
