Do you really think that even if democracy holds in Iraq (which, BTW could take decades) that the Royal-dictators of the world will all of a sudden relenquish their powers?
Another consequence of this is that now you have a majority (shiite) in power over a minority (sunni)... as time goes along the majority is gonna bear a grudge against the minority (see Rawanda 1994) and commit mass genocide.
Anyways I hope it(democracy) sticks so all this crap won't be in vain.
And GWB is still an idiot.

You're an idiot, I'll give you that.
Dead civilians = about 8000-12000, mostly killed by the "insurgents" (Islamists and Socialists funded in the most part by Iran and Syria).
What happened in 60s Iran is different to now, you simpleton.
A direct effect of the Iraq War was that Colonel Gadaffi of Libya shat his pants and decided to "play ball".
And how you come to the conclusion that there is going to be Shiite on Sunni genocide is beyond me.
You actually WANT democracy to fail in Iraq, because you are a village idiot.
