Yes. It will take a long time to inculcate Democratic institutions and honest legal systems... longer still for secular, not religious, rule - Turkey is still struggling with that after 80 years of effort.

Any attempt to cut the American occupation of Iraq short is likely to back-fire on us... spinning things in the direction of the Theocrats and tribalists... and likely leaving a huge mess behind.
