stable democracy in iraq? who are you kidding. iraq will become a theocratic tribal-ruled society, influenced by Iran. the neo-con bush dream of stable democracies in the arab world is just a pip-dream, brought on by lust for oil profits. the shias in iraq will slaughter the sunnis when they have a chance, and lots of tribal wars will take place. women's rights are already curtailed, and the future looks like another autocratic religious state denying freedom of religion, etc. to the underlings.
