Now we know who will represent the Iraqi version of the American Democrat Party.

However, if two-thirds of the voters in three of the 18 provinces reject the constitution, it will be defeated. Sunni Arabs comprise about 20 percent of the national population but are in the majority in at least four provinces.

Defeat of the constitution in the referendum by Sunnis is the biggest danger, IMHO.

If they have a problem with not being represented, they should have voted.

If you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

Sadaam f'd the Sunni's big time. The Sunni's think they are the big guys on the block, but they are the smallest. If the Sunni's want civil war, fine, they will lose, big time.

Anyway, don't they know oil is a finite resource. The sunni's should focus their resources on alternative fuels.

I take this to be a healthy negotiating tactic. And then they will haggle and niggle a better price for the Persian rug for my Living Room.

It's becoming clearer and clearer -- who will have to die in order for others to live...

The Sunni Islamists from Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan and Iraq -- have to be on the cockroach list, along with the Islamist lunatic clerics of Iran....

The road to peace, lies over their graves...

Semper Fi

Maybe the Shi'ites and the Kurds should make a seperate agreement and just designate the Sunni area a "target rich environmnet".

Also Saturday, about 5,000 people gathered outside the main mosque in the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi to condemn the constitutional process.

And in the northern oil city of Kirkuk several hundred Sunni Arabs demonstrated against the charter, chanting "Yes to unity, no to federalism."


good grief ! these morons don't get it. They couldn't do this if Saddam was still around.

Nice to read the Sunnis are quite engaged in the writing of the Iraqi Constitution. There was such concern early on that they wouldn't.

Sunnis take a break from cutting off heads to complain about being cut out of talks.

Just because they number in the majority in 4 provences doesn't mean they will be able to convince everyone to vote against the constitution, provided it is fair.
