Just FYI, the Iraqi constitution is not a done deal yet...

[Zenlitened]

Who knows what the hell will happen between now and October... or afterward.

...Once approved by parliament, the constitution has to be voted on in a referendum in mid-October. If approved then, new elections will be held under the charter in mid-December.

But if two thirds of voters in three or more of Iraq's 18 provinces vote No in the referendum, the constitution is rejected, and it's all but back to the drawing board.

Sunni Muslim imams and politicians have been urging Sunnis to register to vote in the referendum, having perhaps sensed that failure was looming in the constitutional negotiations.

Three of Iraq's provinces -- Anbar, Salaheddin and Nineveh -- have majority Sunni populations. if politicians can mobilise the vote in those areas, they may block the constitution.
