| Fifteen Sunni Arabs to join officially Iraq constitutional committee |
| 2005-07-04 |
| The 15 Sunni Arabs nominated to join a parliamentary committee drafting Iraq's new constitution will officially join Wednesday, clearing the last hurdle in bringing the minority sect into the process, a senior legislator said. The body was scheduled to welcome the new members Tuesday and they would officially begin their duties the following day, committee chairman Hummam Hammoudi was quoted as saying by The Associated Press on Monday. |

| #1 This sounds to me like the acid test to see if Iraq, as an entity, a particularly artificial entity, can hold together. Since they're Arab Sunnis, lol, there is absolutely no way to predict the final answer. The only certainty is that the proceedings will be rancorous and full of pointless posturing and preening and seething from Tuesday forward. There's no track record to support anything less divisive. We shall see, but this might be prime for an RB Futures item. Color me pessimistic. Sigh. |
