The compromises reached between the Kurds and Shiites involved some curbing of their respective desires for autonomy and the superiority of Islam in the law. Oddly, or maybe not so oddly, the BBC story mentioned none of this. I hope they can reach similar accords with the Sunnis. And then, whatever they come up with will be voted on by the Iraqis as a whole.

There is a long row to hoe in this process, and it may have been a mistake to put such an emphasis on a deadline. It took years for the U.S. to hammer out a constitution.
