I don't doubt that some of the people in power were hand pickied by the U.S. However, what's very interesting is that the most revered and eldest clerics in Iraq, such as Al-Sistani who is respected by everyone in Iraq, are also in power. They have not rubber stamped the current interrim gov't but have demanded elections asap. They have been very active in talking to people like Al-Sadr. So the reality is that most of the Iraqi do not like us and want us the hell out of there asap. The realists in the interrim gov't know that they are in power only so long as U.S. security forces protect them. But the elder clerics and this interrim gov't are working together to put a constitution together and then get the nationwide polls going. They are working everything out. We're just there in a security capacity, and in a reconstruction bankrolling capacity. The people with brains in Iraq know exactly what the insurgents are doing and DON'T want that. They don't like us either, but they know they have to sieze the opportunity and make lemonade out of lemons and that's what they are doing. So it is not an imposition of democracy.
