>>>78% of the Iraqi voters, approved of the interum constitution...
The problem is that of that remaining 22% were not spread equally across the country; most of those voting no were Sunni. If the 78% in support were uniform across the country, I would have more hope for the long term existence of a unified Iraq. But when two of the groups overwhelmingly accept the plan and one overwhelmingly rejects, I think that there is trouble down the road. Even if we don't break it up now, I imagine the three parties will break it up later.
If the Itaqis decide that's what they want to do down the road, I don't have a problem with it. As for the 22% being concentrated in one area, that's fine. If they keep this up the 78% that live in the other areas are going to kick their ass eventually.
The minority has been given a place at the table. They have the opportunity to form coalitions with others. If they can't do that, then they don't deserve a place at the table.
It's my take that most of this terrorism is being committed by foreign nationals.
"Even if we don't break it up now, I imagine the three parties will break it up later."
Well first off, WE arent going to break up anything, that is for Iraqis to decide.
"support were uniform across the country"
Are you speaking about population centers like Chicago or New York that vote so very different than the rest of their respective states?
We do it here and they can do it there. With ballots instead of carbombs.
