Iraq: 40 more dead in Baghdad, AND constitutional process is in trouble
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050724/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq;_ylt=AsrAARY40p2K3dzm_J6exb2s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--

Insurgents have regularly targeted Iraq's police and security forces in attempts to further destabilize the country, which has been struggling to put together a new constitution and broad-based government.

Members of former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's bloc threatened Sunday to walk out of the constitutional drafting committee in support of a Sunni group that boycotted the process.


Again, I can't help but recall the sage words of Joe Scarborough after the Iraq elections in January, spoken to General Clark:

"I don‘t give a damn whether the Sunnis vote or not. They‘ve oppressed this nation since 1934. If they don‘t want to vote because they‘re finally going to have to live in a representational democracy, tough luck."

I wonder if he's starting to get it yet.
