Iraqi Constitution

This was sent by a friend:

the sad truth :

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq.

Why don't we just give them ours?

It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it worked for over 200 years, and we're not using much of it anymore.

I get frustrated by the drift in the US to something different than our constitution clearly states and what its framers intended. Many in this country don't know or don't like what the Constitution says and God knows we have too many liberal judges who prefer their own interpretations more suitable to their beliefs and biases. However, The Iraqis have no clue how to live in a Republic like ours.

The fact that they were able to craft something resembling a workable constitution is a big step forward. After June 30 we'll see if they can implement it!

If we can pull off something that resembles a free society in Iraq, it will be a giant step forward and may serve as an example for the failed and corrupt Muslim societies in the region.
