Excellent post by Timothy Noah of Slate Magazine.
An interesting look at the 'draft' of the Iraqi constitution and the man, Ayatollah Sistani, the Iranian-born Shiite leader who'll be pulling the strings, or more like cracking the whip, in Iraq soon.
I'm not sure Sistani was what the Bush administration had in mind when they said we'd be 'spreading democracy in the Middle East'. Especially since the constitution's Article II is titled 'Islam is a main source for legislation'.
Some funny, informative and strange links. Be sure to check out Sistani's site.
A good read.
