Warning of the perils of a US policy which consists of keeping oil at an acceptable price, most middle eastern newspapers seemed to praise the American Way at its best these elections represented. 

The official paper of the government led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the Sabah, said the election "confirms that the spirit of citizenship governs the democratic life of America and not nationality, religion or partisanship."
"The root of the problem (in Iraq) lies in the absence of a culture of citizenship, and the dominance of political partisanship and nationalism."

Biggest problem with Iraq is their conflicting feelings about US troop withdrawal. Some want them to stay to help restore order, and some want them out of the way so they can have their way.
