Should what is best for Iraq be dictated by people in other countries? Should the Islamic extremest be the judge on the well being of Iraq? It would be nice to here from Iraqis... Islamic extemest opinions welcome, please be straight this time...

Change is never easy. It takes time. When you are ruled by a dictator your life is pretty muched regulated by what you are told to do and what position you are going to play. Freedom can be a frightening prospect when you don't know what position you will be able to make for yourself and your family.
I really believe this will be a slow process for anyone over the age of 30 living in Iraq. Typically change is something the young are more easily adaptable to. Many liberties that will be available to that society will be difficult for many Iraqi's to adjust to.
Under Saddam's rule education wasn't available to the masses. Those males primarily, who showed a propensity for education were utilized to government sponsored careers. Like, if you showed a strength in science you were channeled towards that career path for the good of the government. If you showed to be of no usable educational significance you didn't get educated.
Now that people are going to be able to freely choose to make their way what do you do when you have no money or education?
When you are 55 yrs. old with a family? How do you get started?
The average Iraqi citizen is going to have a long road ahead of them.
I think if I was an Iraqi I would be afraid of what happens when my country is left to fend for itself.The Ba'ath Party still has many young followers who were trained to emulate the evilness of Saddam. Then you will have the fighting between Shia and Sunni.
Iraq's future is still unstable.
I guess only time will tell. If democracy does succeed there it will be at least a couple of generations before there is stability.

No.
In fact, much of Iraq is under lock-down now, because the U.N. is afraid there will be huge up-risings for the execution of the true Iraqi president that Daddy Bush and Ronald Reagan helped to place in office.

It seems that it is only the Shia and Kurds that are happy, as they were the ones subject to persecution by Saddam.
The Sunni are not happy since they no longer have all the power in Iraq.

It could be propaganda, but looks to me like the idiot cheerleader has Iraq in total chaos. Worse now, then when Saddam was president.

They are Happy.. in PARADISE! They are dead, how can't they be happy??
and by the way, those who survived (wel, still alive at least) hate your country more than ever, and tghey are waiting for you to build a new WTC to bomb it with pleasure.

Most Iraqis think that:
1.)Life was better and more secure under Saddam than it has been since America invaded,
2.)It is OK to attack and kill American soldiers,
3.)America should get out of their country.

yes when ever a true news org tells the story it shows that the regular citizens in Iraq are pleased.
But if you listen only to the American Liberal press then you hear that there are no happy people there

at least pple has to understand that he was murdered in the most holly day for Muslims in which such an act is considered humiliation and dishonor for Muslims

They're very happy and satisfied. We have lavished them with great gifts, like bombings, curfews, no security or electricity or clean water, a stooge government and state TV. How could they complain?!
