'Islam is the official religion of the state'

I'm curious. How do you Republicans justify American soldiers fighting and dying for this (actual text of the proposed Iraqi Constitution ):

So how do you guys justify American deaths over this? I thought we were supposed to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq. Instead, we've brought a religious theocracy. I am appalled at what is happening in Iraq and have no idea how any person that believes in democracy can support more American Soldier deaths over this joke of a constitution.

Oh, and we have very democratically ensured that it will pass because:

It's hard to argue that America hasn't rigged this referendum when it takes a two-thirds majority to reject the proposed constitution as opposed to a two-thirds majority to accept.
