However, is 'democracy' a sustainable model in Iraq? I don't think so. Without a very strong central authority Iraq will probably shatter into regions, if not into civil war. I think that, although elections are occuring and that is encouraging, that the equilibrium in Iraq won't be in a democratic Federation (I hope I'm totally wrong).

Also, call me pessimistic but I would take most polls about Iraq (especially those from the Western media) with a HUGE dose of salt. Can you imagine the methodological problems a pollster could face in that kind of an environment.
