And It's One, Two, Three, What're We Fightin' For?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, etc. (Thanks to Country Joe and the Fish)

Well, boys and girls, here's what the sacrifice of American GIs and Iraqi civilians has produced, manifested as a draft constitution:

The draft also stipulates that Iraq is an Islamic state and that no law can contradict the principles of Islam, Shiite and Kurdish negotiators said. Opponents have charged that last provision would subject Iraqis to religious edicts by individual clerics.

The Shiite and Kurdish negotiators also said draft calls for the presence of Islamic clerics on the court that would interpret the constitution. Family matters such as divorce, marriage or inheritance would be decided either by religious law or civil law as an individual chooses -- a condition that opponents say would likely lead to women being forced into unfavorable rulings for them by opponents demanding judgments under Islamic law.

So, Islamic law, Shiite domination under Iranian influence, and a mechanism by which men can continue to oppress women (who, in a divorce, gets to choose whether secular or Islamic law is applied?)

Yes, they're going to produce something that Chimpie and company are dreaming of for this country, just substituting mullahs Dobson, Robertson, and Falwell and the Bible in place of the Islamic clerics waving the Koran. And, just to show that we're not kidding, Robertson has issued a fatwa that a duly elected leader of a South American neighbor be assassinated. Shades of Salman Rushdie.

Good job!
