Mission accomplished: civil war and theocracy
Why are our best and bravest fighting and dying? For Iraqi civil war and an Islamic theocracy. Reuters:
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's tentative efforts at consensus politics were pushed to breaking point when the Shi'ite majority forced a draft constitution into parliament in defiance of Sunni warnings that it could ignite civil war.
"If it passes, there will be an uprising in the streets," Sunni negotiator Saleh al-Mutlak said after a 10-minute sitting at which Hassani declared the draft had been delivered on time.
The draft also made Islam "a main source" of law in what seemed a compromise between Islamist Shi'ites and secular Kurds.
Up yours, 15% of America! Where were you a year ago? We told you!
