I was just watching ABC news and it sounds like the new constitution may take Iraq back about 500 years. Women will likely lose many of the rights they had under Saddam's rule and Fundamentalist Muslim laws will have much more influence. That is if they ever come together and agree on a final draft. They are so far apart right now the negotiations sound like they are on the verge of turning into a fist fight and could fuel the civil war.
Why the hell are we protecting a new government that is going to stand for almost everything we are against???? It's like we are protecting the Iranian Government's constitutional convention.
Thanks Bush for putting us in a lose, lose situation. What a fucking mess!
