Was the Iraq War a Successful War?

In 2006 President Bush stated that the war in Iraq was democracy versus tyranny, or in other words the spread of democracy. When there were no weapons to be found, the government had to come up with another reason and even that reason was not proven to be a successful outcome of the war. Democracy has not been spread to Iraq and terrorism has not ceased. Attempting to make Iraq a democratic country was an attempt to stop terrorism at all costs because if the people were voting than power-hungry leaders would not be elected into office, but that cannot really be determined regardless, anyone could be voted into office with the majority. We forced a type of government that they didn’t want on a people and turned their country upside-down. They did not ask for the change and were not ready for it; therefore especially resistant causing an overall larger problem that lasted for multiple more years after that. Nothing was resolved and there is no stable democracy in Iraq now so clearly it cannot be called a successful war, the United States simply pulled out because they couldn’t afford it anymore, not because it was finished.
