No - Iran's constitution is Islamic law and it's religious authorities have more power than, and can overrule, secular authority.

This is saying that Iraq's constitution, while not Islamic law, cannot contradict Islamic law and that the religious leaders will have a seat at the table.

There is a difference.

No Iraqi constitution will be optimal.

Seems like anything referring to the words, "Islamic Law," ends up in dead innocents.

You'd think that after seeing where that's gotten her neighbors, Iraq would have learned.

Maybe if our leaders had the courage to take away the oil weapoo swiftly and drmatically and make it clear that Sharia law, or the failure to allow the contradiction of it, does not work.
