Unanimity is not required, though accommodation of minority views would be wise. Iraqis have not had democracy before, so the truth of this has probably not come home to them yet.

No one has voted yet. American votes don't count. Not our country.

The US has two jobs to do that will support the development of democracy in Iraq: security and reconstruction. How's the electricity situation in Baghdad shaping up? The great democratizer, American blogs, can't reach the Iraqis without electricity. Can we finish the jobs that everyone agrees are ours to do and not meddle in Iraqi politics?

Even the United States had to have the Articles of Confederation before we wound up with our Constitution. The Iraqis have to find their own way, politically. We can't make them be democratic. They have to choose it. That's democracy.
