#1 I am getting mentally prepared for the Sunnis to kill the Constitution in the referendum. The left will undoubtedly say that this means Iraq is falling apart. However, I think it just means that the Constitution will be re-negotiated once a standing parliament is elected. I also suspect that the Sunnis may actually lose out in that deal.

#3 Its far from clear the Sunnis will get the 2/3rds(?) majority in the 3 provinces required. All Sunni majority provinces have significant numbers of non-Sunnis, some Sunnis will vote for it and some will abstain. I think it will be close.

Hopefully the Sunnis will experience the hanging chad.

#6 What did Chad ever do to us? Hang Zarqawi instead! Or is 'Zarqawi' Arabic for 'Chad'?

#7 These guys are so dumb, they don't even know that the U.S. is potentially their most valuable ally. What's their problem, lead in the water? Sheesh.

#9 I wonder if the Sunni imams are losing a lot of face by making all of these dumbass decisions. It would be highly amusing if in the January elections, the religious factions just get shut out, and secular Sunnis opposed to this nonsense are elected.

#11 CS, I do believe the problem is inbreeding. Too many first cousin marriages lead to Sunni clerics.
