The Constitution of Iraq, which was adopted by the people of Iraq in 2005, establishes a federal parliamentary republic. One of the primary--perhaps the primary--goals of the constitution was to protect minority rights, as Iraq is composed of diverse factions. Direct democracy is not compatible with that objective. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch". The parliamentary republic system was chosen so that representatives would be obliged to build coalitions around consensus, rather than simply imposing the will of the largest faction.

How has the war affected Iraq?
We killed the evil dictator and formed a democracy.
Was the Iraq War successful?
In order for something to be successful, it has to have goals. The only goals of the Iraq War that are clear were to get Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and to create a democracy. There were no weapons of mass destruction and Iraq is not necessarily a democracy. Additionally hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died and a few thousand coalition soldiers died. It would seem like the Iraq War was not successful.

What was the role of US in restoring democracy in Iraq?
First, we should note the wording of the question. The US did not "restore" democracy in Iraq, since "restoration" requires that there was a previous state of democracy in Iraq. This is incorrect. There has never been democracy in Iraq at any point in history since Iraq was first settled over 5000 years ago. Iraq has consistently been ruled by absolute monarchies or in Caudillo-States or in one-party "republics" like Saddam's. The US created a new democracy in Iraq, changing the history of the country radically.The US role in creating democracy in Iraq was primarily the Iraq War, which was the invasion and overthrow of Saddam's Republic or Iraq. Afterwards, the US brought together leaders from different regions and clans of Iraqi society to write a Constitution that they could all finally agree on as well as facilitating the negotiations. The US also assisted monetarily, by financing the new government, and militarily, by training the nascent Iraqi Army. (Saddam's army had been disbanded and its members forbidden from re-enlisting.)
