The apparent victory was muted, though, by the prospect that the result might divide the country further.

"Don't give up hope, we can still get the Sunnis to create unrest in Iraq when the voice of the people doesn't say what we want to hear."

After all, they have the example of the Democrats in the U.S. to turn to.

Iraq's constitution seemed headed toward passage Sunday despite strong opposition from Sunni Arabs, who turned out in surprisingly high numbers in an effort to stop it.

Uh, yeah. Yet in Ninivah province, where it is largely Sunni, 300,000 voted FOR it and only 80,000 against it. How is that strong opposition?

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq's constitution seemed headed toward passage Sunday despite strong opposition from Sunni Arabs, who turned out in surprisingly high numbers in an effort to stop it. The apparent victory was muted, though, by the prospect that the result might divide the country further.

Let's see, two years ago they were living under the thumb of a brutal, ruthless, dictator and now they are set to vote passage of a constitution that makes Iraq the only Middle East Democracy. Hmmm. AP Still finds a way to spin this triumph into a disaster. It's tough living your life so stuck in your negative, outdated worldview that you can't see reality when it bitch slaps you up side the head.

The headline liberal news for tomorrow is "Sunnis appear to fall short in Iraq vote". I guess the AP thinks that "Sunnis appear to fall short in Iraq vote" is more important than IRAQIS PASSING A CONSTITUTION and VOTING FOR FREEDOM.

no mattert what the results are MSM will find a way to just crap it down. they just hate anything Bush. The Bush Presidency has done incredible things that would not have been possible uunder anyone else in recent times... incredible things like democracy fires spreading like fire season in california across the middle east.

How long do we have to wait until the powers to be get it carved up and exporting oil at higher levels? My wife's about to submit part of her meager paycheck (pay cut) to help fund the airline's jet fuel cost adder. What we are seeing is a reverse re-distribution of wealth. This is the closest I've ever felt to being a democrat.

Sharia-law is Sharia- law....now the only difference is the people of Iraq have a whole gaggle of morons leading them, instead of one. I would argue that they are not really a free people, yet. This kinda places them on the same footing as Iran.
