BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's main Shi'ite and Sunni Muslim sects abandoned efforts to amend a draft constitution on Tuesday and a version rejected by many Sunnis will be printed.

 

"The talks have ended. We did not reach any agreement on making changes to the draft. It will be printed in the form it was read to the National Assembly last week," Bahaa al-Araji, a member of the parliamentary drafting committee, told Reuters.

[…]

"We are ... very sad that they took this decision even though they know what will happen to this country if they pass it in this form," Saleh al-Mutlak, a senior negotiator for Sunni Arabs, told Reuters.

 

"If the constitution gets a 'Yes' then Iraqis who reject it will say that the results were falsified. The situation will be bad politically and the security situation might get out of control. If the constitution gets the two thirds 'No' in three provinces, sectarian tension will increase."

 

"They were really unwise to take this decision."

While the Katrina disaster grinds on in the Gulf states, there’s still another disaster grinding on in Iraq. The death and destruction continues, and still no coherent reason for the invasion.

 

The class and racial divisions in America have been laid bare for all to see, and this is the model that bush wants to impose on Iraq in his ‘noble cause’.

 

So. Let’s stop dancing around it. The bush administration is not only criminal and corrupt, it’s also inept when it comes to dealing with reality. And so the killing in Iraq continues; to ‘honor the sacrifice’ of the earlier dead.

 

In Iraq, we can see the future of bush’s foreign policies, and in the American Gulf states we can see the future of bush’s domestic policies. We can also see how bush plans to pay for his grandiose fantasies of conquest and domination. The rest of the world’s governments see this too, and are ‘shocked’ as they stare ‘in disbelief’.
