I will give the Bush administration credit for not submitting to the temptation of simply cancelling the election, given the continued tensions. However, the entire West Wing of the White House may have broken out the champagne a bit too early. The circumstances leading up to the war are still rather nebulous at best. To top it off, the Iraq War very much destroyed the political structure of that country, leaving the Shiites in a position to take power. How other sectional groups react remains to be seen. The sight of seeing Iraqi's voting was very encouraging. We can't start the race without arriving as the start line first.
