More Middle Eastern democracies.

Today's posting at Belmont Club seemed to fit right in with my optimistic mood today. Wretchard links to several commentators who think that successful elections in Iraq would have serious repercussions in Iran and Syria.

Surely not five Middle Eastern democracies!

I think the concerns over the weeks before the election are spot on. I've thought for a long time that every spare UK soldier should be in Iraq for the run up to the election.
