Sometimes it works


Iraq draft constitution reveals promise from the Iraqi National Assembly

Yahoo brings some great news.

Hussain al-Shahristani, deputy National Assembly speaker, said the new text was given to the United Nations, which will print 5 million copies and distribute them to Iraqis before the Oct. 15 national referendum on the new basic law.

The original draft was not voted on by parliament, and al-Shahristani did not call for legislative approval of the amendments.

"The vote on this ... is the right of the people, not their representatives," he said.

I just want to drool over that last sentence of the quote.

It is still early to see if it will work, but I am hopeful.
