Constitution in Iraq

That's funny. In a democracy, isn't it the decision of their people - not yours to determine what the criteria will be? A democracy decides it's own needs based on a majority vote.

Iraq's new elected leaders should not be focusing on ethnic difference or religious differences but human equality...

Any leader who opposed this process should be deposed by default because they have violated the sanctity of the democratic process.

It would be nice if our elected leaders in the United States were held to this standard.

Rex,

If you listen to their voices, you will find that their lives revolve around their religion. So, if they want to incorporate religion into their democracy, I guess they would need to vote on it. As a democracy, the US chose (voted) not to involve religion.

I thought they were "liberated" (not conquered).

They should have a choice.

So we now have Mr Red's version of history which demonstartes that Germany was communist before we kicked Hitler's ass.

If the people CHOOSE to go to a restrictive, religious gov't, are we going to tell them that that choice is not valid?

Doesn't seem very fair to me

I was under the impression that they were a "liberated" people according to the President of the United States. And if they do not have a choice, then we should stop providing mock elections for them.
