It is very good news that the Iraqi Council of Representatives has agreed the basis for next January's national election.
The fact that Iraq's political leaders overcame a number of hurdles in reaching an agreement is a real sign of Iraq's democratic progress.
Iraq held peaceful provincial and regional elections this year and January's national election will be further evidence that the Iraqi people have chosen dialogue and democracy over those who offered nothing but violence.
