*Sighs* Well, I imagine that if things do go to shit that it'll wind up becoming another Occupation of Iraq. Complete with insurgents suiciding themselves to kill everyone in sight. *Rolls Eyes*
The people there are starving and impovershed. Not completely backwards. It would take a while to get their country back up to speed with the rest of the world, but it will happen. Though I bet their entire telecommunications infrastructure is going to need to be overhauled - if it even exists at all beyond a vestigial state.
On the otherhand, these people are starving and desperate. I've got a strong feeling that if they knew that the US and allied nations would come to the rescue if they staged a big enough uprising, then they would. Of course, their propaganda machine keeps them in the dark about these things. So, if things did turn to shit and we went in to clean house... I think there'd be a very large workforce already on hand. Granted, they wouldn't be the most skilled of laborers, but I bet they could learn pretty damn fast, and then build even faster.
