If you are asking if Iraq will ever become a 'Representative Democracy' such as the United States, then the answer is that they already are. Iraq held thier first elections in January 2005. There was a total of some 8.4 million votes cast, which was a 58 % turnout. (This does not count the 280,303 registered expatriates.) The second election was in December 2005. The turnout for this election was reported by several organizations to be at 70%. In contrast, the highest voter turnout in the United States was 63% in 1960 (the 2004 election was 55%). If you define a democracy as a government that is chosen by its by its people; then Iraq is more of a true democracy than the United States ever has been.--[[User:Uwops|Uwops]] 22:01, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
