Tied to Iran? No, Maliki and Sistani aren't going to go the Iranian mullah route. The Iraqi government has more support in its country than the mullahs do in Iran. How do you know that??? Iraqi's have a lot more in common with Iran than the US. You can bet that at the least the southern Shiites will be tied at the hip with Iran, hell they already are. No, the Iraqi Shiites are Arab and the Iraqi Shiite religious leadership, led by Ayatollah Sistani, aren't the power mad type who run Iran. So a market where 80% of the participants are governments, and even where it is not in government hands is highly subsidized, is a "free market"? Jeez I would like to sell you on National Health Insurance being a "free market"... you are easy. Yep. The international oil market is free. Many of the market participiants aren't normal profit seekers though, but hamstrung by their domestic politics. I suspect you are looking for an excuse to abandon the market mechanism.
