.No Booze In Basra or America Making Iraq Safe For Sharia Law
"As Diana West aptly tells us: U.S. forces should not ordinarily be engaged in nation-building -- sorry, nation-stabilizing -- nor should they ever be engaged in Sharia-nation-stabilizing, which is my core problem with our overall strategy in constitutionally Sharia-supreme Iraq...
And she is absolutely right. It is not the role of the U.S. military to make the world safe for Sharia law, rather to safeguard the world from the effects of Islamic Supremacism, discrimination, and restrictions of freedoms that result from the application of Sharia Law.
The Iraqi Constitution is sadly infected with two great dollops of Islam that countermand democratic applications of the laws contained within the Constitution. Without a separation of Mosque and State, Iraq will never truly be democratic, at least in the Western sense of how we perceive democracy.
Sharia Law, which has been incorporated in to the Iraqi Constitution is antithetical to our Western concept of Democracy, or more accurately a Representational Republic style of government, where minority rights are protected, and you have true freedom of the press (no true freedom of the press when you can’t blaspheme Mohammed or the Quran), freedom of speech, and other rights of Civil Liberty guaranteed (the loss of which accompanies the implementation of Sharia law)."

Kind of late to complain about that now. We have known that both constitutions are rags from the day they were passed. And I think you missed the most outrageous of the Iraqis constitutional articles, the one that stipulates that all members of the supreme court have to be expert in Sharia law.
I have asked this question many times, who in Iraq will certify someone as "expert".
The answer of course is the Hazwah or whatever its called, the Ayatollahs, making Iraqis constitution more or less compatible with Iran's.
