3. The Election is no big deal

Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 11:58 PM by Oversea Visitor

What is important is will US troops still occupy Iraq. Holding the election might seems like a victory. Now comes the delivery. It is simple they vote to have their country back.

If that happen and they have the country back, then they start moving forward. If not, well don't need to be a genius to figure out what would happen.
