#1 Since Ibrahim al-Jaafari became prime minister, terrorist attacks have diminished (albeit slightly), Al-Sadr have joined the democratic process, and the Sunnis stopped boycotting the elections.

Even if the American withdrew all their forces now, the democratic government in Baghdad would most likely survive.

With Jaafari or without him...

#2 Only the point about al Sadr had much of anything to do with Jaafari - and that just blew up in his face.
