#1 This is one of my big fears. The current Iraqi regime, horrific as it is, is secular and anti-Islamist. Get rid of Saddam and install democracy, and then how long do you think it will be before they vote for a Islamist Mullah-ocracy? Not too long, I don't think. "Out of the frying pan and into the fire!"

#2 Scooter, I don't think so, because I think our occupation of Iraq will be much like our occupation of Germany after WW2: there were certain things the Germans knew they weren't allowed to do, because if they started edging towards those things, we'd react. Same thing in Iraq, and one of those things (I suspect) will be the attempt of an Islamist party to assert itself.
