"28th June 2004 - CPA dissolved and full governmental authority was transferred to the sovereign Iraqi Interim Government"

!!!! 'CPA dissolved' - by whom? All of this glosses over the fact that the country was invaded, a new governemnt loyal to the invaders set up. I think the average astute Iraqi realises democracy has limited meaning there. What if Iraqis tomorrow decided to vote for some extremist form of Islamic government? Would that be tolerated by the occupying US forces? Since the answer is a resounding 'No', it is clear that democracy in Iraq has limited meaning. Any 'government' set up to try Saddam must be seen in that context

PS - I don't like Saddam btw, just in case you think I'm rooting for the man.
