"Yes its possible that the Shia will establish ties with Iran."

(I'd say: 'likely'.)

"But thats what we want at this point. We want democracy of Iraq to rub off on the oppressed shia in Iran and make them hope and wish for more in their lives."

That is certainly one of the long-term possibilities... and much to be wished for.

But other possibilities are present also.

It's possible that ties with the radical Theocrats running Iran will radicalize the Iraqi Shia population --- perhaps leading to an increasing polarization of the Muslim world --- with civil war in Iraq aided and abeited by Wa'habbist Sunni societies in Saudi Arabia and Syria... arrayed against the Shia.

With a 'Sunni nuclear bomb' in Pakistan, and a 'Shia bomb' in Iran the possibly WORST possible outcome.
