a quote from an Iraqi

''These days, when we want to scare the kids in my family, we tell them 'Democracy is coming to get you' or 'Freedom is coming to get you'," he says with a bitter smile. ''The kids don't know what it means, but they run away."

And U.S. officials say privately that he may actually have planted the stories about summary executions as part of a psychological smoke-and-mirrors game. "He wants to project that dual role—to the West as a committed democrat, and to the Iraqis as a tough guy who got things done," says one diplomat.

i think the US is going to regret helping put Allawi in power.

there's a danger that Iraqis may end up with a pro-American dictator, the sort of banana-republic despot that an American leader once famously called "an S.O.B., but our S.O.B." Then one of the last good reasons to have invaded Iraq will have proved as illusory as those long-lost weapons of mass destruction.

Totally editorializing in a news piece, but well stated.
