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.

Sunnis will filibuster what the majority of Iraqis want.

They complain. Align themselves with kooks. Sound like Bin Laden.

The DNC will sue for copyright infringement.

There is a difference between being in the majority and being more than 2/3rds of the population in a province. If the Sunnis are more than 66% of the population in 3 or more provinces then there would be some cause for concern, and if this were the case you can be certain that AP would have gone out of its way to say so.
