State Department and CIA officials fear the presence of Iran's hard-line al-Quds security forces, which they believe are working with the Lebanese terrorists of Hizballah and could be tempted to back the insurgency. Iraq's Gulf neighbors distrust Iran and would like to see Sunnis retain influence in Baghdad. With Iraq's fate so uncertain, foreign meddling may have only just begun. --By Massimo Calabresi and Adam Zagorin. With reporting by Scott MacLeod/Cairo and Nahid Siamdoust/Tehran

His main selling point was not his allergy to the U.S. (genuine as that may be), but rather his outsider's r?sum?: his manifest lack of experience in Seoul's payola-driven politics, a system that the great majority of voters already viewed with distrust and disdain. Once in office, Roh's amateurish and inconstant performance, as well as his own cynical attempts to game the system, did little to allay popular misgivings about the health of the democracy.
