All those things are issues that usually don't disappear just by the fact that the country had an election.
No one claimed this i think.
The country is a mess but there are signs of actual co - operation between Sunni and Shi'tes.
The government also tries to distance it self from extremism,it has complied constitution and there are no signs of pushing sharia laws from the top....
How it eventually works out it is hard to say but surly doom gloom is what people like to hear
Also question is how SA and Iranian affairs will influence the future of Iraq.

Ohh wait... some American companies cant wait to start pumping the oil at last.
