We had military rule over Germany and Japan for several years after the Second World War and when we gave those countries back their independence we left them with constitutions and democratic governments (they seem to have fared quite well being the two wealthiest nations in the world second to the US). We will attempt to do the same with Iraq and should not allow the UN role to be dominate.
