Iraq gets a new constitution.....

the new-faces of Iraq

The Iraqi parliament has just agreed on the new constitution.

Now  , the division is set along the lines of faith

along the lines of sect and along the ethnic lines.

There are now :

three ethnic-Iraqs

and 2 sectarian-Iraq

and five regional-Iraqs

and 7 recognised minorities.

Thank you George Bush , thank you Wolfowitz and Richard Perle !!

Mission accomplished .....indeed .

We have had once one Iraq.....and now there are three !!

I remember the previous constitution

that never did mentioned the ethnic identities

nor was the religious belonging a matter of relevance... ..

The President was a secular-Sunni

with a Christian-vice- president

and a Shiaa-second- vice-President

not because of their religion but because of their talents....

There was one Party , which has had some Short-comings,

but this party was modern,secular and republican.....

Don't you remember it ??............. it was there until 2003...

and the Iraqi President was an ex-revolutionary,

anti-imperialist who build Churches and protected the Synagogues.

Funny !!

today that same parliament includes :

- war lords

- religious scholars (fanatic or not)

- tribal lords

- Mafiosos

- CIA stooges

- smugglers and common criminals, seeking immunity

- run-away-bankers

- mercenary-captains

The previous Parliament has not perfect ,

but at least those , above figures, were excluded.

If you ask me ,

I would say that George Bush fooled us

and that President Saddam is a dead Hero !!!
