I find myself agreeing with Skunk on this one. There is no post-Hussein government that can be established for Iraq that will not be seen by many in the Middle East as being tainted by, or secretly controlled by, the US.
It will probably take 2 years for general elections to be held, but it will be at least a decade before the political infighting begins to settle and Iraq can have a stable government that doesn't nearly collapse thrice yearly. Unless large quantities of money makes its way into the hands of Iraqi citizens the anti-US sentiment would continue to grow (I don't even want to go there). *ick*
