english: We went through a period of feeling that the lesson learned from Bosnia was that elections held too early enshrined sectarian violence, enshrined extremist parties, so in Iraq in 2003 the decision was made, let's not have elections for two years. Let's invest in voter education. Let's invest in democratization.
non_english: We hadden in Bosnië geleerd dat te vroeg verkiezingen houden, leidt tot sektarisch geweld  en extremistische partijen. Daarom werd in Irak in 2003 de beslissing genomen, de verkiezingen twee jaar uit te stellen. Laten we eerst de kiezer wat opleiden. Laten we investeren in democratisering.
