if the newly elected officials begin to demand that we leave their country, then i'll see these elections as a success and something worth cheering about.
This is unlikely. The newly elected officials need US army to protect them.

An Iraqi in north america told me this, after having voted last Saturday:
No matter who wins the election, he/she is destined a puppet. The fact that he/she needs protection from foreign army suggests he/she has to follow commands. Otherwise, he/she can be easily exposed to assassination from insurgents. Whe Sadam ruled, he controled the Iraqi people, and people had to elect him. Now Iraqis can choose, but the elected official get controlled by foreigners. This is not a progress.
