Yes, the political process in Iraq is really marvelous, for some reason much of the media fails to understand how far the Iraqi's have come. I read everything I an find on it and IMHO despite their huge differences the Iraqi's are making faster progress then our forefathers did. Looks like the Constitution passed: "Enthusiasm was highest in Salahuddin and the Anbar city of Fallujah, where some 100,000 people voted — and the constitution's success could hit hardest in those areas. Anbar already is the main battleground between Sunni insurgents and U.S.-Iraqi forces. But in the two other possible swing provinces, the "yes" vote won the day — 70 percent to 20 percent in Diyala and 78 to 21 percent in Ninevah, according to initial reports from local election officials." Other then Anar province the YES vote was OVERWHELMING in the Sunni Provinces. Now if the Sunni's participate in the 12/15/05 election like they did last Saturday things ought to wrap up pretty quickly over there. jdn
