Certainly more a friend of Iran than the U.S. No certainly about that at all. Esp. if Iran acts aggressively. Having a Shia dominated government doesn't mean that Iraq will support Iran in its adventures. Its an Arab Shia government, and even though it is fairly Islamic its more secular than Iran's government, and is more concerned about stability than with trying to make Iran more powerful, or trying to undermine its neighbors. To the extent it can achieve that stability it will be an example of democracy to the rest of the Middle East, and we have benefited by removing Saddam for the scene.
