I would like to change my question above, to the following:

I wonder if the Shiite moderates can hold on to their power (assuming that they will win the election) or if the U.S. will have to protect them from extreme fundamentalists from the Sunni sect and/or fundamentalists from the Iranian Shiites.

If you were Iraqi, would you rather be governed by Islamic fundamentalists or the American military?

I don't think Bush has solved any of the problems in the middle east and I doubt if the Iraqi people think that his intervention was worth the many lives which have been altered by death, injury and destruction to their homes and infrastructure.

Fact is, apart from Saddam, who has he actually conquered? What has he actually achieved?

Its enough to make the women of North America want to cover their heads in solidarity with the women of the middle east. We are all daughters, sisters and mothers! How much more can they endure?
