Since I'm pretty sure he's been dead for a long time, I'm not all that worried about a (wannabe) al Qaeda (knockoff) gaining control of Iraq.

Most of the resistance is made up of non-terrorist fighters, the majority of them native Iraqis fighting against those who invaded their land (see www.juancole.com or www.empirenotes.org for verification of this). Tahid wal Jihad is more interested in attacking the 'infidel' Shi'a than in running an actual government, methinks.
