		Iraq is a pivotal front in that cause, which we pursue with great cost to American, Iraqi and allied lives and treasure.
		And second, that Iraq's future is bright, precisely because of allied intervention to free the Iraqi people from four-and-a half decades of dictatorship and strife, of which the last three-and-a half are under a single, and singularly brutal, regime.

	Iraqi Interim Government - SourceWatch
		At the invitation of the Iraqi Governing Council, and with our full support, the UN is playing a vital role in the formation of the Iraqi Interim Government by June 30 and in preparing for national elections by January 2005.
		As Ambassador Brahimi has noted on several occasions, the priorities of this government should be the day-to-day administration of the country, the preparations of elections for the Transitional National Assembly, providing for the security and safety of the Iraqi people, and continuing economic reconstruction and development.
		The prospects for a democratic government in a " New Iraq ", even a viable interim government, hinge upon a comprehensive nationwide census of the Iraqi population and the political process of national elections.

		After the interim constitution is made public, the coalition will move on to its next major challenge: deciding who will run Iraq’s government between June 30, 2004, and January 31, 2005, when an election for a national assembly must be held.
