Iraq's American Constituion
According to the Associated Press, "Iraq's landmark constitution was adopted by a majority of voters during the country's 15 October referendum, as Sunni Arab opponents failed to muster enough support to defeat it, election officials said today [October 25, 2005].
"Whatever the results of the referendum are ... it is a civilized step that aims to put Iraq on the path of true democracy," the wire service quoted "Farid Ayar, an official with the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq," as saying "before reading the final results at a news conference."
Is a constitution written by foreign occupiers valid? Would the U.S. or Brtain allow foreigners to write a constitution for their citizens? Just asking Here's more.
