This whole WOT is the fault of the CARTER administration. Two reasons, the fall of the Shah, who, while not perfect, was a far better man than what replaced him, and the invasion of Afganistan, which created the modern mujahedeen movement.

Just so our younger freepers never forget, Carter sucked, worse than Disco, he was awful. I loved him at the time, and hated Reagan, but I was wrong. Reagan "saved" us from that crap.

Sunni Divisions
By Bill Roggio

**************************************

The constitutional compromise has created an open division between a Sunni party and an Islamist group. The Islamic Iraqi Party, the most influential Sunni-led political party, rescinded its opposition to the constitution and advised its followers to vote “yes”. The Victorious Army Group immediately declared war on the Islamic Iraqi Party, stating the party an instrument of “Jews and Christians… against the Muslims in this decisive battle between a constitution made by Allah for His creation.” According to the Victorious Army Group, the Islamic Iraqi Party “should receive from the mujahideen their fate.”

Other Sunni groups are reconsidering their stand on the constitution. The Conference of the People of Iraq, a Sunni party, has also voiced their support for the constitution. The Sunni Endowment is also backing the constitution. From the statment by the Sunni Endowment; "As a way out of this ... dark tunnel and to avoid starting all over again from scratch ... the Sunni Endowment has decided to support the Iraqi Islamic Party in voting 'Yes'... Living under a flawed law is better than chaos and anarchy ... What counts for us is educating people to take part in the next election to produce honest people capable of changing or amending articles that are not in the country's best interests."
