Democracy isn't perfect by any means, but everyhing else is so much worse.
This election is a beautiful thing.
I hope it serves to unite Iraq against the forces seeking to restore tyranny.
I hope this election unites them though ours has divided us.
I hope that their constitutional congress is wise and just, tolerant and brilliant.
I hope they can tie together their disparate Republic.
Let them be a light on the hill in a dark world.
Maybe they can remind us all what democracy is about.
Thus ends the spurt of optimism.
