	t r u t h o u t - Phillis Bennis: The Iraqi Constitution: A Referendum for Disaster
		The ratification process reflects U.S., not Iraqi urgency, and is resulting in a vote in which most Iraqis have not even seen the draft, and amendments are being reopened and negotiated by political parties and elites in Baghdad as late as four days before the planned referendum.
		Constitutions can play a crucial role in founding and unifying new or renewing states; Iraq is no exception, and in the future drafting a constitution could play a key part in reunifying and strengthening national consciousness of the country.
		Many secular Iraqis, as well as Christians, are dismayed by the privileging of Muslim clerics within the constitutional court, for example, as well as the regional empowerment that allows local/regional governments to choose sharia, or Islamic law, as the basis for some or all of its court jurisdiction rather than secular laws.

		Voter turnout was large, supporting the belief the constitution would pass, but certifiable returns weren't expected until late in the week.

		Somebody who isn't supposed to be busy at work can maybe make these BBC data into a table (they're the basis for my map):
		I changed the labels on the chart to "Sunni Arab majority" rather than "overwhelmingly sunni arab." I felt that it was inconsistent with "Shi'ite majority" and has connotations that are negative (ie, that sunni arabs are "overwhelming" an area).

		It was the first presidential election since the 1888 election in which a candidate lost the popular vote while winning the electoral college vote.

		The latter has focused on the clouded election of the President, on his policies (not least his abandonment of the Kyoto Treaty ratification, and particularly as regards his actions towards Iraq); the former on other policies, such as the economy, homeland security, and especially his leadership after the September 11 attacks.
