The Iraqi Constitution and the Sunni Arabs

My article in Salon.com is

"The Iraqi constitution: DOA?" Angry and marginalized, Sunnis are threatening to torpedo Iraq's constitution. Disaster looms, and the Bush administration's blunders are largely to blame.


See also Phillip Robertson's touching article in Salon on the death of culture in Baghdad in the conditions of guerrilla war.

And Joe Conason's "Iraq's Unhealthy Constitution, also at Salon.

It is a 21st century irony that a virtual magazine reflects the realities of Iraq, whereas many "real" magazines and newspapers carry Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld fantasies.
