Actually I largely agree with your assessment. Constitutional Monarchy is the worse system except for totalitarianism and anarchy. I am no expert on iraq however and have no idea how the folks there would view it. But i suspect few on this thread are experts here either. mike

we do NOT want to be wandering round the world appointing kings.


Tom Paine did the job on Kings in "Common Sense," and I agree. Can you imagine the mess Jordan would be if it had not had a King the last 50 years? That is the reason it is attractive to us, I think.
