But Sunni negotiators angrily rejected the compromises. A leading Sunni negotiator, Saleh al-Mutlaq, called on Iraqis to reject the document in the referendum, warning of a "terrifying and dark future awaiting Iraq."

I am coming to the believe that the people representing the Sunnis in the constitutional drafting committee really want no constitution at all. Its either that or they have no comprehension of what a Democracy is all about. Seems to me the Kurds and Shias have bent over backwards (probably at our insistence) to reach compromises with them and they reject them all. But the ICING on the cake IMHO is their desire to include former BAATHISTS in the new government. As to the Federalist stuff, well we have STATES here whats the big deal over it? Doesnt mean the country will split and in fact the Kurds GAVE UP on their right to split after 8 years as a compromise.
I know the liberal press will make a big deal out of this but IMHO we ought to allow this to go forward and let the COMMON PEOPLE SPEAK as to whether they accept this Constitution or not. The Sunnis are THREATENING CIVIL WAR if they cant have their own way, well, maybe their way is the WRONG WAY and maybe this matter will have to be decided on the field of battle once and for all. If it is, and if we give the Kurds and the Shia's a free hand it may just work out OK.
I think, the coalition should withdraw to the BORDERS of Iraq and set up an impenatrable border and let the locals decide without the interference of outside forces on either side. jdn
