The trend from early results from the Iraqi election indicate that the Shi'ite religious coalition, the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA), not only held together, but also can be expected to dominate the new 275-member National Assembly for the next four years.
Freedom and democracy in the Middle East has produced a regime that will be sympathetic to Iran.
Paul Zanetti
Wasn't the neo-con aim of "exporting democracy" to create a US-friendly nation in the region; to build a working model of democracy as the neocons conceived it for the Middle East; to provide Israel with an ally in the Arab world and to isolate Iran from the Arab world.
That has not been achieved. 'Ts time for the US, the UK and Australia to acknowledge defeat and leave the country for the Iraqi's to run. It's their country.
