Like I've said, Iraq is, at best, 5 years from being a true democracy. This is a positive first step. However, this is not the end. Anybody that think that it's over is foolish. The hard work no begin.

Its not that "this is it," but neither will there be "over one hundred steps," unless you're counting every minor step taken. I see this as having the same potential as the fall of the Berlin Wall. The nations that were freed are still not fully established democratically or economically, but no one would dispute that what happened almost 16 years was a major change on the world stage.
I believe that Arabs in other nations are watching today's events. They will also watch the struggles that Iraq will face in coming months and years, and they will say "my nation also deserves democracy."
The European Renaisance will finally coming home to Arabia.
