You’re too focused on the fighting to see what’s really happening in Iraq. If we continue on current course we may see the beginning of an awaking within the ME people soon enough.

The problem is that a Fatwa has already been issued to negate the constitution. While many want to see democracy succeed, there are enough religious zealots to screw it up. Look at Iran, as soon as it appeared that the mullahs were about to lose power they just declared the opposition to be ineligible.
I can see the Shiites forceing control and then it will be come a little Iran. It has already been stated that they are seeking a governement similar to Iran's. That in itself ends democracy.
No, I do not believe that will take in the ME. Fundamentalists willnot allow it. They will continue to stir up trouble until the win, the most likely scenerio, or the general population realizes that the Mullahs are not in favor of what is good for the people.
My best scenerio is to split Iraq into three sections, and seed democracy into those three sections. One will take root and that will be the model. If left one country then the Shiites will win.
Of course I'm an old fart and may not understand the modern world, then again the ME is an old fart part fo the world.
