I find it tremendously disheartening that, after the sacrifice of the American soldiers, this article appear in The Guardian and not the NY Times. I find it sad that the American media can not be happy for the Iraqi people and proud of our soldiers. This election is truly "Mission Accomplished" yet no one in the American media - nor any Democrat for that matter - has seen fit to properly praise this moment. Such petty, small, vindictive people.

Democratic dawn in Iraq
Polling was peaceful, the results encouraging. We could yet be looking at a model for Arab states
Tuesday 3 February 2009
The weekend's elections in Iraq were a huge success for the Iraqi people. The remarkably peaceful day of voting on Saturday - and the interim results - give good reason to hope Iraq really is on the way to building a decent society.
