Iraq has elections coming up and Obama has important decisions to make about relations with the new government and how many troops to pull out. He has for the most part not been very active in Iraq, because of all the problems Bush had with it. However, Iraq could become a democratic ally to the US and a big producer of oil in the middle east.
I think that if the US helps set up a government in Iraq, it might be good for the people there, but it wouldn't be a true democracy. The US would be doing this for oil, not because of good ideology, anyway. Obama has done a nice job putting the mistake in Iraq behind us, while not just leaving a mess behind.
