The elections are an extremely important step forward, to give the Iraqis confidence that they really and truly can have a democracy. But perhaps more importantly, I think that we will see a reduction in violence after the elections, as derailing the elections is one of the prime reasons for the recent spike in violence. The next round of violence will then focus on destabilzing the newly elected government and will thus be targeted more at the officials than at the citizens.
