zofsilence, tejek, John, looks like I was right. The likely Iraqi PM was living in London, not Iran, and he has very Western leanings: ----------------------------------------------- Likely Iraq PM Promises Moderation By MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD, Iraq - The shy family doctor who became the leading candidate for prime minister Tuesday says ending the nation's rampant violence is his top priority and that U.S. troops would remain as long as they are needed to achieve that goal. In an exclusive Associated Press interview, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a 58-year-old moderate Shiite Muslim politician who fled a brutal crackdown by Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in 1980, also talked about drafting a constitution that will draw not only on Islam for inspiration. "Islam should be the official religion of the country, and one of the main sources for legislation, along with other sources that do not harm Muslim sensibilities," said al-Jaafari, who currently serves as Iraq (news - web sites)'s interim vice president and was living in London until Saddam's regime was overthrown. He said he supports women's rights, including the right to be the president or prime minister, as well as self-determination and individual freedoms for all Iraqis. story.news.yahoo.com
