With Sadam in power, at the very least the Islamic fundamentalists were kept in check. If Bush keeps his promise of a democratic society, wouldn't that in effect create another Islamic state since the majority of the Iraqi population is muslim and the ones Saddam pissed off/tortured/killed were the hard-lined fundy muslims? Also, now the other hard-lined arab states will now say, "AHA, i told you America is an imperialistic force!" and will be able to recruit more deranged followers! But if Bush doesn't allow Iraq to fall into the hands of hard-line islamics through democratic elections, then we would just prove them right and anger them even further! Neo-Cons say that there will be a 'dominoe effect' now that Iraq has been 'liberated', i'd like to hear how this is even close to become a reality.
