Let's debate it :)

In my opinion, talking about "the Iraqi opposition movement" as if it's one singular group is a bit dumb. It's certainly possible that there is one or another sympathic group among the chaos of "movements" currently warring in Iraq, but I think most of them are fighting for their own clan/sect/ethnic group against Americans and other clans/sects/ethnic groups :p

So I think the best solution is if everyone could just calm down, so things could become clearer, and we could get an overview so as to see whether there is actually a democracy on the horizon.

The fog of war will only make it easier for whoever wins to hide/defend the fact that they're not democratic and/or support the human rights.

Well obviously those involved have their own agenda, but just because it's so, it doesn't mean they can't work towards a common goal of ridding the U.S. presence.

Think of it as WWII. All the major superpowers, some of whom didn't like each other, worked together towards a goal while still working in their own agendas of becoming the major superpower in charge afterwards.

So you think that what we're seeing now is actually a coordinated effort by several groups to kick the US out? Not several groups trying to take advantage of the chaos to, as we say, flour their own cake?

As I mentioned in my previous post, it's both.
