Hmm, only two people think Iraq will have a constitution within five years?
After the USA declared its independence it took just under five years for the Articles of Confederation to be ratified. It only took our fore fathers that long because at the time there were very few precidents. And they didn't get it quite right the first time so they wrote a new one that was ratified six years later, and the current constitution is the oldest one still in force on this Earth. You'd think with that kind of experience under our belt, and with dozens of other consitituions and charters in force around the world, that with the help of American and UN ambassadors Iraq should have a working constitution very soon.
Look guys, I think the people of Iraq deserve the chance to govern themselves, and I think they're fully capable of doing so. Is what is happening now really so unbelievable?
