Default Blackwater in a time of peace

Much has been written and discussed about Blackwater and it's heavy footprint in Iraq. I worry also about the prospects of a post-conflict-era Blackwater, assuming the United States will not perpetually be at war.

Blackwater has a 7500-acre base, replete with its own tanks, aircraft, and intelligence division. It is a multi-billion dollar corporation. Economic beasts like this do not simply fold without fighting for survival.

What will Blackwater do in a "peaceful" era? I can only hope that Blackwater doesn't become a political police force for, say, a President Giuliani (or Clinton).
