If the Iraqis could elect who they want, Iraq would more than likely drift towards states like Iran at this stage. People can only begin to discuss freedom and other concepts of that nature if their basic needs are fulfilled.
Those needs are not being met. The first mullah on the block who can teach people how to spell his name would likely be elected in. That kind of a situation would be unacceptable for the US. It would be akin to Osama Bin running and winning, after the Americans spent so much money in there building a business parter.
The current administration will win this one, but the masses who "voted" for them will remain unhappy.
