Can I say American type capitalist system, but with "Undescribable Utter Chaos and upheavals"

I think the system will be put in place, many wont like it, and then the chaos will result. I also wouldn't be surprised to hear a kurdish or shiite(spelling) independence within 3 years.

I voted for puppet regime followed by Islamist revolution. But it may be a matter of years until we no longer care enough about propping up whoever we insert that such a revolution would come.

I don't think US would risk implementing a puppet government in Iraq in the face of world eyes and opinions, rather they will force the shiite government form a republic where every muslims could vote.
