My mother insisted to go because she considered that as a religious duty, but not me. She said she cannot disobey al-Sistani. Why should I care? Nothing has changed since we have elected this government, no security, no electricity, no water," said Saad Ibrahim, a Shiite resident of Baghdad's Karrada district.

"The constitution will not change that," he said. "The main issue is not getting this constitution passed, but how to stop terrorism ... Now they had this referendum done, we should expect terrorism back to our streets tomorrow."




The AP reporter must have looked long and hard for this one guy.

Reminds me of the guy who asked the surgeon if he'd be able to play the piano after surgery.

You know - the inability of some people to see good news in front of them is absolutely amazing. That's why the media is a prisoner of its own negativism, since they have no idea how others see them.

You're giving the AP reporter the benefit of the doubt. I wonder if there is such a person as alleged by the reporter.

Very true - Or just as likely, just made the guy up! This happens with the MSM reporting much more then most suspect. They simply make up "critics" and quote them in their "news" stories.

The MSM is absolutely pathetic - They hate the success they see in the GWOT -
