i suspect that many iraqis dont particularly want any one form of government or another, as long as they can go along doing what their doing they are happy. Democracy isnt something you can force, the people need to want it.

To start with i think you need an autocracy where an american appointed iraqi rules as head of state almost independantly but is answerable to the USA.
Similar to the way Australia was set up before we federated in 1901, the King/Queen appointed aussies to run a colony but served that position at the Monarch leisure

I reckon that iraqi was misrepresented in the translation he probably meant that
1. sadam was a strong leader
2. iraqis need a strong leader
3. somone that would be a strong leader like sadam needs to rule

not to say that they want the evil sides to sadam back...
