Here's a thought provoking piece about how anti-Saddam Iraqis are being sidelined in all this."Washington to sideline exile groups" (from the Daily Telegraph in London - thgough I got there via an Iraqi exile site - which has some great Iraqi music.).

Here's a quote from it:

Washington this week flatly ordered one leading opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress, not to declare any form of provisional government, officials told the Washington Post.

The INC hit back, threatening to declare an interim government as soon as Arab Iraqi territory - as opposed to Kurdish territory - was liberated. In what could be a nightmare scenario for the Pentagon, an INC official suggested that many Iraqi army units might prefer to defect to an interim government.

Entifadh Qanbar, head of the INC's Washington office, angrily rejected talk of civilian or military governors for Iraq. "That's not acceptable; it's not workable; it's not correct," he said.

Assuning the war gioes ahead, and a US occupation is set up, I doubt if it will be long before Iraqis who were against Saddam will be in open conflict with the occupation troops.
