Is the Iraqi Government "Corrupt"?

[domer]

Captured by the phone-video of Saddam's hanging and in Maliki's reluctance to confront Sadr's Mehdi Militia, among many other indicator's, it is starting to seem to me that all semblance of fairness and equality have been purged from the Iraqi government, if those principles were ever entertained in the first place. What is starting to appear is a Shiite government with a Shiite agenda pursuing Shiite interests. Whatever nods in the direction of minority rights that may have been made have been removed during the course of governing.

Is this portrait accurate? How does it affect our "duty" to stay until a good chance for self-sufficiency arises?

Basically, there seem to be two choices of government for Iraq.

(a) a Sunni government that stomps the crap out of the Shiites, or;
(b) a Shiite government that stomps the crap out of the Sunnis.

It is possible that either of these is better than what Saddam had, which was
(c) a Sunni government that stomped the crap out of Shiites, Kurds and rebellious Sunnis.

Consider that (a) and (b) have cost us 3040 or so casualties, God knows how many maimed and crippled and bazillions of dollars, while (c) was essentially free.

If I were a Kurd, I'd approve, I think.
