Juan Cole links to a CSM report which concludes that, due to the severity of the security situation, candidates in the elections in Iraq can only campaign via television. One upshot of this is that only wealthy parties are able to effectively campaign. Both the Monitor and Cole fail to note that this is in fact an instance of completely successful - though possibly unintentional - importation of American style democracy to Iraq. Shame on both of them for denying this good news.
