No, the reasons they presented to go to war were faulty and will remain faulty.
Only the future can tell if the election will be successful or if we will have another weak goverment with a bunch of warlords (like afghanistan).
When the US troops are gone and they had their first election on their own (without help) than you can talk about success (a "free" and democratic goverment) or failure (some theocratic asshole)
BTW: You don't even have the results of this election, how can you start talking about success now? What if this election was won by some islamic theocrats?
