Any successful constitution for Iraq is going to have to guarantee that any money gained from Iraqi oil reserves (through either taxes or a more socialist "nationalization" of the resources) must be distributed by census, proportionally, to all of the regions of Iraq so they can not be used by any majority against a minority or to enrich any one group.

Very socialist approach. Surely you mean in the short term? Long term there would have to privatization of all the major income generators and service providers. An alarm or a little bell should go off in anyone's head anytime they hear, use or think the words "fairly distributed" or their equivalent.

Constitutions should deal with fundamental rights. There is no basis for distribution of wealth in a rule of law that is intended to be a sound basis for the development of a "Free Republic".
