As the U.S. government drums up American and international support, backroom strategists are honing plans to oust Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein. Options are weighed; little is left to chance. Except, it seems, one crucial detail: after Saddam, what then? Who would lead Iraq? Another military dictator or a bold democrat? Would Iraq fall into chaos, even disintegrate? "What everybody knows in Washington is that there's no end game plan. Who's going to replace Saddam? They don't have the slightest idea," says a former CIA Iraq hand. The producers interview an array of aspiring Iraqi leaders living in exile and waiting for Saddam to fall, each trying to make his voice heard. The producers scrutinize their records and some of their powerful U.S. backers, and asks if anyone can bring peace and democracy to Iraq, a place where neither has been allowed to take root under Saddam Hussein.
