Let’s assume that in the next Iraq election a party that wants to turn Iraq into a fundamentalist islamic taleban style state wins 60 % of votes and declares the time of democracy over.

WRONG. The US would LOVE for Iraq to become an awful dictatorship a la the shah, or the saudi or hashemite monarchy. However, if the iraqis founded a democratic government that wanted to nationalize the oil, or challenged israel at all, then it's gogogo all over again and the government goes BOOM courtesy of the CIA or the marines.

The US might be semiOK with dictatorship a la the shah or the saudi (especially since at the moment the things are so messy that they mostly just want a decent way out of there) as long as they could control or work with the dictator. BUT they would not be ok with a fundamentalist islamic taleban style state (a la sadr, Iran, taleban) because they would nationalize the oil and challenge israel.

Yeah, and let's not forget stoning or murdering women accused of adultery, imprisoning or executing homosexuals, and denying non-Muslims and women the equality of civil rights held by Muslim males.
