Sunnis rally against Iraq charter

26 August 2005

Thousands of Sunni Muslims have demonstrated in the Iraqi city of Baquba to protest against the draft constitution being debated in Baghdad.

Some carried pictures of Iraq's Sunni former leader, Saddam Hussein.

The Sunnis object to several parts of the draft text agreed by Shia and Kurdish parties. But Shia leaders have said they will compromise no further.

It has emerged that US President George Bush phoned a Shia leader earlier this week urging him to seek consensus.

Based on the picture with this report you would think Saddam was running for President again?

5. That's the sad part

After all of the death and destruction that Bush has brought upon the Iraqi people, most of them would take Saddam back in an instant. You can't have democracy and freedom without security and a working economy.
