This interviews deal with US President-elect Barack Obama's election as US president and its impact on the Iraqi scene. Obama plans to promote peace everywhere and to fight those who create conflict and oppose it. His victory is promising, but Iraq has a long way to go as far as self regulation to become a sovereign nation. As far as the security agreement, opinions vary. Some want to postpone it until Obama assumes complete control, but others want to carry on until that time. Iraqi leaders hope that this election does not weigh focus on their establishment of a constitution and government bodies. It is not about the United States, but about Iraq although the US has an influential role. They are also trying to shy away from being a religious state. They are having the struggle of dividing church and state much like in the history of the United States. Obama faces a big problem when looking at the fact that he does not have specific ties with any political party in Iraq. I think that change is promising and that it may just be the kick forward that Iraq needs to expedite the process.

I think Obama may have a few issues straigting out the situtaion in Iraq but after a little the goverment hopefully will recover from the war.
I think people are kind of getting ahead of themselves when it comes to fixing the problems in Iraq. Im not certain whether the general public in Iraq has the support of the U.S. or if they want them out, but if most people in Iraq do not want a dictatorship like before then the war has to be "won" before the U.S. can leave Iraq to be it's own sovereign nation.
