Consequences of the War against Iraq

Here's an assessment from "Al Jazeerah" online at
http://www.aljazeerah.us/  :
 
"The US, the world's super power, defeats the Third
World country of Iraq after pounding it for 12 years
through sanctions.  Casualties: less than 100 soldiers for
US and about 1.5 million Iraqis. Consequences: Total
Israeli hegemony over the Middle East, the oil wells are
secure, the military industry will be thriving for decades,
and the stock markets are ready to take off."
 
Are there aspects of the above assessment that you
disagree with?  Are there other important consequences
not mentioned above?
 
In solidarity, Jerry
