How about helping Pakistan? They have been struggling with rewriting their constitution for 50 years. And Musharraf just added his own piece giving him additional powers.

>Good answer. But we - the US - can give it a head start if the people are willing to give it a go. We can't do it for them but we can build an incubator, as it were, or a greenhouse, to protect the infant government they do come up with until it's ready to stand on its own.

While I was in law school at Tulane, a number of the law professors were engaged in writing new constitutions for emerging countries, possibly because Tulane is the only law school in the US that teaches both civil and common law. They do have a good international law department. I know that everybody involved in those projects were always very hopeful.

There's something incredibly beautiful about drafting a constitution, don't you think? As beautiful as a cathedral, and perhaps longer lasting.>

Maybe we can, if we are willing to face all the possible repercussions of that commitment. I don't think too many people are even considering those, or the real nature and the real risks of what they are proposing.
