Within 5 years, or after Bush leaves office things will return to what they were only different people in power taking advantages over those who don't go along with their way of thinking. Shiites, who will control Iraq soon, will not tolerate those other factions that want to go their own ways so a civil war will erupt and more bloodshed will happen. It is only a matter of time I'm sorry to say for the idea of democracy is a good one IF all those people go along with it and respect others with differing points of views.
