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.

This is correct. There is nothing wrong with Islam being the source of all law, as long as the ability to revise laws exists. The public can interpret Islam however they want, as long as one body doesn't hold veto power over the public's will it will allow Islam to morph into something acceptable to modern day Iraqis. It's the Supreme Council's veto power that is problematic in Iran.
