Journal pudge's Journal: Iraqi Constitution 6

Journal by pudge

So what if some provinces disagree with the Constitution? So did some of the original 13 states.

Like New York. Hm. OK, not a good example. It's all liberal and stuff, and gave us Chuck and Hillary. Hm. And the last to ratify was Vermont, which gave us that turncoat Jeffords, and gay unions, and Howard Dean.

  • ok NY is a bad example but a good one is RI. They didn't really care for a represntative-base system purely because they are so small. New York would jsut vote them into irrelevence.
  • An all out civil war just might fix them up real good as well.

    This is going to be a bloody bloody thing. Whether we continue to be involved or not is the question.

    I feel like we're waiting for our own Pentagon Papers:

    "The document revealed, among other things, the government had planned to expand its role in Vietnam even when president Lyndon Johnson was promising not to, that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident had been largely fabricated to this end, and that there was no plan to end the war. The document
