There are many competing factions lobbying for U.S.
support in the impending change of leadership. My quesiton is, will the
U.S. allow for the leader to be democratically voted in? In Latin American
countries the U.S. has supported a U.N. chapperoned election (sometimes only due
to internaitonal pressure) when certain revolutions have occured. The
difference is that the U.S. is openly using its own troops to oust Hussein,
whereas most Latin American coups were supported by covert operations. I
don't think Bush will risk this much politically and then risk the chance of
having a leader that is unfriendly to the U.S. in Irak. This man may be a
humanitarian and he may not, we will have to wait and see.
