After the election results were announced, it appeared that the new four-year government would emerge. We do not want to put obstacles in front of this government. The new government will not come from another planet: It should know the details of the Iraqi situation and that terrorism is strong because of the security vacuum. It should be aware of corruption, unemployment, poor general services and polluted drinking water. Conditions will return to normal if all political entities work for the interests of Iraq and for building a democratic united Iraq to bring about progress and prosperity. This does not require more than the acceptance of one another and holding dialogue. The new government should aid Iraqis and rid them of their problems and crises. Iraqis have suffered a lot and worked hard to put the country's interests before their own, hoping to see Iraq as it was: prosperous and rich from its resources.
