The agreement has now passed, by even more than two third majority at 149 out of 198.
A referendum in mid summer 2009 is still needed, which should help the Iraqis get the US, and its Iraqi allies, to be on their best behavior until then.
There is nothing good for any country under occuopation, but this agreement seems to be the lesser of two evils.
