Constitutional monarchy made some sense given the particulars in iraq. mike And there seems to be a sense of "nostalgia" for the Hashemite regime amongst some Iraqis. But it will obviously face opposition from rival groups seeking to assert their own dominance in the country. Many people fail to realize that Iraq didn't exist before 1917 (the fall of the Ottoman empire). The Hashemites were the first, and only, monarchy they know of. And I believe that many Iraqis sense there needs to be a "strong-man" form of rule in their country, but they also want room for popular expression of public will. A constitutional monarchy would fit the bill.. After all, the UK is a constitutional monarchy and they are pretty free. Hawk
