This is a red-herring. The U.S. CPA agreed with the interrim governing council that Islam would be the source of their legislation. This is fine and is probably what most Iraqis want. In fact, this is how Turkey manages their democracy, with Islam as the source of their legistlation. This is not the same thing as a theocracy. A theocracy would be if there is a clerical ruling body that has veto power on every other branch of government. That is what Iran is like and that will be the red line that the U.S. and other countries should watch for to see if Iraq is headed in the wrong direction.

This is the part where liberals should be saying, "Keep an open mind. We shouldn't impose our version of democracy on the Muslim world." I would expect you, tejek, to keep an open mind with Iraq too, but watch for the clues that will show that Iraq is going down the wrong path.
