Aw Jeez, not this Shiite again.
Saddam was hated by the fundamentalists because he ran a relatively secular state (his brutality kept the fundies in check). Now he's gone, and Islam takes his place. I wonder how less brutal the new regime will ultimately be, especially to women and to Christians.
You're right, it's pretty disturbing news.
What is Michael Savage going to say about this -- he spends most of his shows these days railing against Islam.

You call it a "death cult" - but you have no problem with this "death cult" being instituted in a country that we shed blood to "liberate"?
"..according to a draft"
So that makes it alright?
Inevitable. Was the biggest argument against the war. Same thing will happen in Syria. Anyone thinking otherwise - I've beach front property in Montana I'd like to sell to you. Great surf, picture postcard lighthouse, palm trees, you name it.
Why shouldn't he? Its a cult of death and submission.
I agree with the Islam part, but the only outcome of the constitution being based on Islam is is disintegration of equal rights and democracy.
So, Iran won?
let me know when it's go time again? LOL.
A lot of people think so - including the mullahs in Iran.
"So, Iran won?"
- Perhaps. But not becuase they were smart. Never underestimate the ignorant stupidity of a muslim or a country full of them for that matter.
This is why none of my kids will be enlisting in the US military - if I can help it - as long as it looks like they're going to be sent on fool's missions to "liberate" Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia - where we have no business invading, and where the result will be just a different form of tyranny. Our military is for the defense of vital US interests against imminent threats to US Security - it's not for social engineering or social work around the world. As long as we have liberals or neocons who want to use it for the latter, I'm going to advise my kids to stay away. If we're attacked and the military is sent to get the attackers or the attacking country, then my kids will enlist - or their ears will burn from my anger. But Iraq didn't attack us. Osama did - and he's in Pakistan but nobody cares about invading Pakistan.
If the Sunnis vote in December Allawi is back in power and not the religious Shia, that is the difference between a Democracy and just another Islamic country.
