I don't think you answered my question. I really would be interested in what Americans on this thread think on the issue.

The "democratically" elected governments will have little ability to export or import force. No real military. No control of their borders.

Really? So you really think there will be a de facto occupation whereby Iraqis will not be allowed to have any military, foreign policy, or "control of borders"?

Let's see how that plays out. I cannot see that scenario rendering America more lovable to Iraqis, but that is my humble opinion.
