Democracy is not easy - just look at the history in the western world - it was not an overnight thing here
The election in Iraq have forced the iraqi people to talk, and eventually they will have to compromise (democracy 101). People in Iraq will find a solution to their problems - remember they will have to live there for the rest of their lives
Terrorists will probably continue their campaign, but they have already lost the war - no foreign power is supporting them, so they will never have the resources to hit hard - sure they can strap on a bomb on some poor guy, or cut off some heads, but even that is getting less and less coverage in the world media...
The war was a great success, however the occupation lost crucial time, when politicians - from all sides and parts of the world - decided they were going to use it for their own personal gain. If the world had lived up to its responsibility, then things could have been much better today, but we should always expect politicians to fuck up - politicians are just hardheaded people, who seldome admit when they were wrong (they would rather continue down the wrong path, then turn around).
Democracy is spreading the middle east
