TIME.com: Will Iran Win Iraq's Election?: "Will Iran Win Iraq's Election?
Probably not, but Tehran may do better than Washington when Iraqis vote "

My guess is that Sistani or the Shiite majority that sides with a more theocratic form of governance will win. The Iraqi silent majority that is afraid to publicly support the radical insurgents will find it reasonable to vote against the perception of an occupation force.

Isn't this the worst case scenario that was a concern during the pre-war?
