Re: I think most Iraqis know they will be better off if they can make democracy work.

>>> I have no doubt that many or even most do... but that begs the question of what they call "Democracy". Many Shia no doubt would vote the Religious leaders into power, producing some form of Theocracy.

>>> Other individuals are only out to grab all that they can.

>>> And, above it all --- whether they be Democracy supporters, or Theocrats, or want a return to the 'good old days' of Strong Man rule like many Sunni do, so they could lord it over all the other groups again --- I'm sure the majority of 'Iraqis' are Nationalists... and don't want ANY foreign power running their affairs... particularly a foreign power as ethnically and religiously different from them as we are.
