"IMO, the real question is not "is it possible to bring democracy by force". It is also not "is it possible to bring democracy to Iraq by force".

The real question is: Is the US/the coalition willing to put enough efforts into it ?
Are they willing to pay the price ?
And how high will that price be ?"

The first two questions are prerequisites of the next three. If it's not possible to bring democracy to Iraq (or anywhere), there is no quantity of effort that will fulfill the objective, and therefore no, they won't be able to pay the price (which is nonexistent).

It's not that the first two questions aren't good. It's that you assume the answer to them is obvious.
