Or do they?
The Iraqi constitution (which, interestingly, is not easy to find anywhere on the 'net, let alone talked about in any major news source) is not a document in the spirit of '76. It is more like the red ghost of 1917.
So, when president Bush hails this new step of adopting the constitution, he's really endorsing what this blog title shouts: "Socialistic Constitution As 'Progress Toward Peace'"--a partial quote of Bush himself.
Yes, this sounds wild. But, if you've ever read my posts, I try to avoid shocking statements for the sake of excitment. I'm dead serious. Read the constitution here (BBC).
Or here (voanews).
Here (american chronicle).
Even at USA Today.
All of them from the AP wire service. (Dated August 24 to October 12)
Here's a sneak peek: Article 34 states:
"free education is a right for all Iraqis in all its stages"
--even private education.
That's just a taste of what is to come.
Patience, I'll summarize the salient points.
Stay tuned, comrade.

HI,Thanks for posting this. This information was printed in one of the weekly news magazines fairly recently. I read it.
The magazine gave a three column per page contrast of our constitution, the Russian constitution and the proposed Iraq constitution.
A concerned American made copies this and made it available to those of his acquaintance who were interested.
It appears that as a nation (common people) we are confused over what is light and what is darkness, in that we substitute what we believe is true for error and vice-versa.
Yes, you are correct; so, in my next post in a PS I credit my friend (he knows who he is!) with giving me this article.
