And you have this comment from Mr. Straw:

Some of the tensions and pressures which were there, and would have come out in any event, have to a degree been directed towards the coalition."
Does he mean to say if the US hadn't meddled with Iraq last year, there would still have been an armed uprising against Saddam one year or maybe two-three years down the line? If these people really are against the majority of the Iraqis it seems Saddam did a pretty swell job of keeping them in check, because Moqtada Sadr didn't even exist a few months back for the world.

Or does it just show that democracy is not the form of government a country like Iraq is suited for?
