No, Iraq is not exactly like anything and the country that is formed will not be exactly like either of those mentioned. But Japan and Germany were no exactly like any other when the Allies set forth on their mission of democratization of them.
At that time there were naysayers, such as you, and they ended up being wrong, as I hope you will be. Crying about the sky falling without enough data is a hope on your part not a realistic portrayal of the situation.
