A lot like ours, except I think they passed a budget.

Many members of the Iraqi Parliament have been killed and wounded in terrorist attacks. Just one example:

April 12, 2007

[BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — A suicide attack in Iraq’s parliament building on Thursday killed eight people, including two Iraqi lawmakers, and wounded 20, U.S. and Iraqi officials said.]

[After the attack in the building’s cafeteria, more explosives were found near the parliament room and were destroyed in a controlled detonation, according to Iraqi lawmaker Iman al-Asadi.]

Our Congress would refuse to meet under that kind of threat.
