now....there is NO GOVERNMENT, just a chaotic patchwork of various religious factions parcelling out the country. The security apparatus is a wholly separate entity from the government - and the Shi'a are in control now - for those of you that don't know, Iran happens to also have a Shi'a theocracy. So basically we took out the one force holding back Iran, Saddam Hussein, and we handed it over to the Shi'a crazys.

Iraq is now a theocrazy.
