Something I learned recently watching the hearings on Iraq is that there are 
something like 600K to 800K Shi'ite refugees that fled into Iran during the 
Iran/Iraq war.  What will they do if Saddam is taken out?  Will they flood 
back into their home country?  Will they want a a stake in the new 
government?  What kind of humanitarian aid will be necessary to accomodate a 
mass influx of a half million people returning to a country in chaos?
