For most jouralists, Iraq will not be "better" for the average Iraqi until they are back under the heel of another dictatorship or preferably, a communist police state. Barring that, a socialist parlimentary system will do in a pinch.
Just don't give the Iraqis actual 100% true unfettered freedom. From a journalistic perspective, its worse than feeding those creatures from Gremlins after midnight and getting them wet.
