>Elections in Iraq.

Definitely a positive, but it took lots of of work to make it happen and there's no guarantee it's going to happen again, nor that it'll stop the bombings.

>Syria potentially removing its troops from Lebanon.
>An unpopular leader resigning in Lebanon in response to the population's request.

I'd argue this had more to do with Syria being stupid enough to kill Hariri than anything we did.

>Elections in the occupied Palestinian territories.
>A cease fire in the intifada.

Arafat's death.

I'd say that Egypt's upcoming multiparty elections and the local elections in SA are due largely to our actions, but I'm not sure they're really consequential.
