Technically, you're right. Iraq's democracy hasn't fallen completely apart yet and there's still some vague semblance of order there. But give it a little time. As soon as the US withdraws, you can watch that house of cards collapse. The problem of ethnic turmoil is something the leadership class has to deal with. If they can't deal with it, then they're incompetent. Even Saddam was able to handle the ethnic and sectarian differences.
