Nina Shea & John F. Cullinan are concerned about the new Iraqi constitution.
They feel it doesn't protect individual rights enough. In particular, it does not do enough to protect women's rights and religious freedom.
All I can say is - NO! Who could have predicted something like this?
At some point, I will have to compile a list of various columns where we were assured that the Iraqis were devoted to secular government, separation of church and state, and modern liberal democratic principles. And then we can see hwo the people who wrote these columns explain it all away.
(Most likely argument? The Iraqis wanted a liberal government, but the State Department betrayed them).
That is all.
