Iraqi Draft Constitution: Governed by Islamic Law



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Word out of Iraq is that they have a constitution. Doesn't look good for women:

Shiites and Kurds were sending a draft constitution to parliament on Monday that would fundamentally change Iraq, transforming the country into a loose federation, with a weak central administration governed by Islamic law, negotiators said.

The draft, slated for action by a Monday deadline, would be a sweeping rejection of the demands of Iraq's disaffected Sunni minority, which has called the proposed federal system the start of the breakup of Iraq. Shiites and Kurds indicated they were in no mood to compromise.
So is this Bush's "noble cause"?
