True...
Also, I should clarify. There aleady is a model for democracy in the middle east: it's called Israel. But, it will be a long time before Israel's western-style democracy could exist in a muslim country. I'm thinking more along the lines of Turkey, but more democratic.

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.
