Some good comments.

You spotted some things I missed.

But when it comes down to it, the wording of the constitution is going to matter less than how the government sees itself and the document. I have seen "constitutions" for totalitarian governments that promise political freedom. Big deal. It will be what the new government DOES that will count, and that won't be seen for some time.

I suspect that an Iraqi legislative session is going to make the British parliament look like a tea party.

What I have found immensely encouraging in recent days is the mass effort being put out by the Sunnis--not to raise an army, or call for the death of opposing leaders, but to get out the vote against the constitution. That in itself is progress.
