Now it is moving toward a democracy with 7.5 million (or whatever number) voting for a president in October and for parliment February. When viewed like that I'm not sure how you can view this as not positive.

The glass is not half-empty, it's been blown away by insurgents. Iraq is moving closer to chaos than to democracy. The only good thing I see to come out of the war in Iraq is no more SH. So what? I don't feel like the world is any safer; in fact, it's just the opposite. The war in Iraq has been an expensive disaster, both strategically and tactically.
