Than Saddam.

Who's to be sure? The government is already talking about delaying elections, and many ministers have been appointed by the U.S. to five-year terms. Are you familiar with the situation with Musharraf in Pakistan? He's supposed to be elected, but he just keeps extending his own term by referendum so he can "oversee the democracy." Dollars to donuts that happens in Iraq, especially if there are assassinations.

>And they have started from a completely peaceful situation, there has never been even a trace of violence.

But there is more than a trace of violence in Iraq.

Also, remember what an artificial creation the Communist regimes were... the Czech Republic became Communist in what, 1950? The Arabs have possessed a violent brand of nationalism for hundreds of years, and it was only exacerbated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by the European imperial establishments of bogus states held together by dictators. Besides, there are many more groups around to stir up trouble in and around Iraq.
