WASHINGTON -- President Bush congratulated Iraqis yesterday on what he called the ''resounding success" of their election, and signaled that he saw the vote as a victory for his larger vision of bringing democracy to the Arab world.
''Today, the people of Iraq have spoken to the world, and the world is hearing the voice of freedom from the center of the Middle East," Bush said at a press briefing after Iraqi polls closed yesterday. ''There is more distance to travel on the road to democracy, yet Iraqis are proving they are equal to the challenge."
