I didn't say it makes it allright, only that this is a draft, not final and one among many.
From your source:
"Members of the constitutional committee said the draft was among several and none would be final until parliament approves the charter by Aug. 15."
Uh, if they helped feed us the bad information that caused our invasion of Iraq, then they were smart. Chabadi, or whatever his name is - - the guy who said IRaq had WMDs and was an imminent threat to the US - - may have been an Iranian agent. If so, you can't call them stupid, because our invasion knocked out their enemy and has set up a government that's a potential ally of IRan.,
I think it was a noble, but misguided, effort.
I stopped reading and began deciphering when I came across the word "occupation" twice
"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."
Why would the Sunnis vote for Allawi rather than Sunni candidates?
Sunni or later, Shiite happens.
Excellent. I hear the Indian Ocean is a great place to be this time of the year.
"our invasion knocked out their enemy and has set up a government that's a potential ally of IRan.,"
Big 10-4 there, because we also helped set up a client state for China while we were at it.
SO you're saying the article is lying? are you saying that the draft Iraq constitution DOESN't give a special designated role to Islam? Where is the evidence that this is a lie? I'd think the reporter's claim could be disproved in a nanosecond if the document doesn't include what the reporter says it includes.
Some of the people here are forgetting what a democracy means, it means that the people of that country get to chose their government.
Reports from Iraq are that Shia are very unhappy with the moral rules of the UIA and their failure to maintain security and plan on voting in much larger numbers for Allawi a secular Shia in the next election.
The Sunnis will likely vote this time as well and they will likely form a coalition government with Allawi, and some Kurds. The secular forces are looking good for the next election.
I'm sure the sheep of Montana love that beach front property you own :-)
"I hear the Indian Ocean is a great place to be this time of the year."
Naaaaaaah - Monsoon's on.
You don't understand, Sunnis will vote for Sunni candidates and pick up about 20% of the vote, but in order to form a government in Iraq you need a 2/3rds majority in parliment and there is no way in hell they are going along with the religious Shia to form a government with them. Allawi is a secular Shia ex-Baathist that has a large amount of support in the Sunni community so they would be somewhat content with him compaired to the religious Shia he looks very good to them.
Islam won't die ping!
The Christians that are left will have a hard time - but then again they always have - ever since this satanic ideology appeared.
Thats why democracy is not a good form of government unless tempered by a Constitution, and why our founders gave us a Republic, not a pure democracy.
And the die hard NAZIs and Japanese also took the acts of the US as a reason to attack, but in the end the majority accepted.
