Yes, the muslim fundamentatlists wanted a theocracy in Iraq. A theorcracy would have been even more brutal than Hussein in my opinion. Women didn't have to wear burqa's in Iraq for example and they were allowed to drive, neither of which would have been afforded to them under a muslim theocracy. One needs to look no further than the taliban that had executions on the soccer fields for their half time show.
Husseins' brutality was mainly directed against kurds and #####es, especially the Marsh Arabs.
