Just because people can vote, doesn't mean it's truly a democracy. Is anyone free to run for any office? Are people forced to vote for certain people/parties (or not to vote for same)?

Plenty of countries have elections. If you think that truly makes them democratic, you're smoking better stuff than I have access to.

That was not what I said. I was not arguing that Iraq had democracy. I was saying that the people were familiar with the voting process -- it was not a new one to them.
