Are there any historical precedents you can think of?

None. But I think it's possible. Democracy was a crazy experiment once.

I certainly agree with you on this point, but it must be understood that our founders were well aware they were subordinating sectarianism to law for the benefit of free exercise to all. If Iraq misses this crucial point in their Constituional deliberations, they'll be tilting at windmills.
