The U.S. has a long history of using elections held under conditions of war and occupation to legitimize its illegal wars - the January 2005 elections in Iraq mirror the 1967 election held in South Viet Nam , also held to give credibility to Washington 's puppet government.
Nothing like a 57% turnout at an election...
Dude, if your so joyess about seeing people from your own country killed to free people on the other side of the world, then why not go over there and fight your god damned self? Oh thats right, your too busy talking shit about how Americans should die to bring democracy to a country that has nothing to do with us fucking idiot. I have friends fighting over there in marines who say the whole war is bullshit and that they fear they are going to die everyday they go on a mission. Then we got you sitting from afar talking about how righteous it is to die for democracy in a country we had no business invading anyway. lol.

You really are not very clever. Let me guess. You're 17 years old and have no experience of the world.
Bearing in mind that the Iraqis used to live under a genocidal maniac and now they have elections and a chance to make a better world for themsleves, an air of legitimacy has been lent to their situation.
I'm unaware of the elections not meeting international criteria but are these the same international criteria which allowed the Iraqis to live in misery for so long under the threat of torture and death without lifting a finger to help them? If so then I would suggest that the international criteria in question were not valid themselves.
Perhaps you should email your freinds and explain that as soldiers they have to expect that they might die and if they don't like it they should not have signed up in the first place.
There's no need for me to go and fight. I already give alot of money (for an individual) to causes which involve killing jihadis and promoting freedom in the place of religious fanatacism.
