This is funny - US saying Iraqi's need to "edit" constitution after parliament writes it.

US Ambassador - “I believe that a final, final draft has not yet been, or the edits have not been, presented yet, so that is something that Iraqis will have to talk to each other and decide for themselves,” Khalilzad told reporters.

'Edits' to approved text

"The law says the version signed off on by parliament Sunday cannot be amended. But Khalilzad said the door could be open for changes declared as “edits” to the approved text. There was no official comment from the Shiite parliamentary leadership on whether it shared that opinion."

Now, it's the US saying the Iraqis will "edit" it. Even though they have worked for months on writing, and one would presume, "editing". But, according to the US, there is no "final, final draft" yet. Is that "democracy", or what?
