"Does the Kurds have the right to secede? Are women protected of their God-Given rights? These two are the most important points to agree on in this Constitution."

Recall that women did not have the right to vote and slavery was legal when the U.S. constitution was ratified. For what its worth I suspect the Iraqi constitution will best us on at least those two points.

Some Freepers - contemplating the ongoing violence in Iraq - make judgments about the intrinsic backwardness of the Iraqi people. I've been tempted to that same kind of thinking, and then I remember that we had a Civil War that took 600,000 lives. Somehow these minor details of history are forgotten. :-)

If the Sunnis wanted a constitution they could live with, they should have encouraged their people to vote when they had the chance. This is how it works, folks: if you don't play, you can't win.
