>>the Nation Building wouldn't.<<

If the Iraqis build a constitutional democracy or republic that accommodates the needs and rights of Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, Kurd, Assyrian, Chaldean, and secular Iraqi, etc., it will be very interesting indeed.

I've been reading Turkish news sources daily for months, and was very surprised to learn that Turkey has a Minister of Religion! This is part of their government. Which has been allegedly secular since Kemal Attaturk.

What is meant by secular is clearly different than what is mean by secular in the US.

Maybe not so different from Germany, which has laws about paying tithes to churches. I don't know enough about Turkish government or German law to really say.
