I'm afraid of Iraq going from dictator to democracy, then to a repressive theocracy after a revolution.
Sadly, it's going to happen. The population imbalance between Shiites, Kurds, and Sunnis makes it practically inevitable. It looks like we will have replaced a bad dictator with an even worse theocracy, headed by another Ayatollah. The Shiites are already forming militias. The mullahs are talking peace right now, but it's only a matter of time before blood really starts spilling in the streets.

Sunnis threaten civil war as Iraq constitution deadline extended
From Catherine Philp in Baghdad
IN A dramatic midnight turnaround, Iraqs ruling Shia pulled back from threats to force the new constitution through parliament, putting off a vote to buy more time to win over Sunni Arabs who had threatened civil war if it was passed.
