Then after 3-4 years with clerics in power, they will become clear case / candidate for implementing western style democracy as envisioned for Iraq ...

Sad cyclic relation because ;
If 'Iraqee freedom' project succeded as planned, in 10 years time they would hv turned to another SaudiA at best.

And then they would become 'candidate' for Islamic revolution again.
Wellcome to 'New Middle East' :)
