Our intoduction of Democracy saw the Shiite majority ruling Iraqi gov. Unfortunately, Shiites are the majority in Iran, so relations between the two are stronger than ever. The U.S. will definitely have it's hands in the Iraqi gov. for some time to come to prevent Iran's tyranical influence in the region from spreading. This is why the U.S. set up a new gov. in Iraq more based on the ideology of money from oil, not to stablize unrest in the region as reported in the news in the U.S. The current Iraqi gov. is causing unrest in the country because it's not representive of the Iraqi general public. Wow, Democracy, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Who'd a thunk?
