Karma .. good point. Its the "Punk Music Recording Label" connundrum. Every cause obviously wants more to believe in their cause. But when your cause is anti-establishment, how is it ever possible to avoid becoming an establishment.
As far as religion's role in this war, there really is none. Right now Bush is using religion as just another form of propaganda to make people believe we are the heroes and they are the villians. And Iraq is a crazy melting pot of religions, Kurds, Shiites, Suni, Muslims ... trying to break that country up into organized states under one leadership similar to how the United Arab Emirates has is going to be tough. I think regardless of any rule thats imposed there, there will be civil wars between religions.
And any sort of democratic rule will cause more choas than anything, especially now. And the Bush Administration isn't stupid, they know that. So they are simply going to substitute one dictatorship for another, hopefully ours will eventually ebb away in time, leaving an Iraqi Republic, but who knows.
