Iraqi constitution that GWB is so proud of...
"CHAPTER ONE: Basic Principles
Article (1): The Republic of Iraq is an independent, sovereign nation, and the system of rule in it is a democratic, federal, representative (parliamentary) republic.
Article (2): First, Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation:
a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.
b) No law can be passed that contradicts the principles of democracy.
c) No law can be passed that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms outlined in this constitution."
....It's what they say; I didn't invent this.....

Article 2 and 2(a) is what the Iraqi Parliament really believes and wants.
Article 2(b) is crap they had to put in there after endless arm twisting by the administration [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
A huge boiling pot of theocracy with a pinch of democracy thrown in so Bush can say the dish is good and worth the cost of making it.
