I actually meant that its far-fetched thinking it will become THE model for a democracy in the middle-east. Even if Iraq turns into a participatory regime it will be far from a role model for a democracy. There is a big problem to combine Islam and Democracy. If anything, there probably should be a new kind of governing model - atleast at first until "popular" Islam modifies and updates itself for the modern times.
