I bet you are going to be terribly disappointed when the Iraqi's present their Constitution next week. There apparently are a couple of hangups.
Federation--this one I dont quite understand. To me Federation is merely having states like we have in USA, Central Govt. still rules so I dont understand why the Sunni's seem to feel it will lead to break up of the country.

Religious inclusion in the Constitution--This one seems to be a tougher nut to crack, but, so long as it doesnt mean sacrifice of some peoples rights I would think they would find a way to compromise.

From everything I have read this appears to be the only holdups. There is a chance the constition will be postponed but I think there is a better chance MOST of the constitution will go through with an election down the road to settle the two points above. jdn

The country has already made the decision for Mr. Bush. We're outta there. Now comes the hard task of identifying the leaders who can pick up the pieces of the fiasco that has made us more vulnerable, not less, to the terrorists who struck us four years ago next month.

The architect (Karl Rove) is never going to let that happen (make George W Bush look bad, as if he ever made any mistakes in his life). When the people overwhelmingly get together to march against the war, Karl Rove will have George W Bush in a photo op at the head of the march (with a lot of flags flying) and declare "Mission Accomplished".
