Its been in the news for a long time now, but do you know what it actually entails? If you are curious, here is a link to a copy of the Iraqi Constitution.
Hey, Thanks for posting this. It's very interesting...and long. Foundation documents of this kind often are. It seems that Iraqis are keen to embed the memory of Sadam's tyranny in the new State's collective history and completely embrace the idea that church and state are inextricably intertwined; a concept rejected by the US constitution with varying degrees of success. Except for the church-and-state issues it seems to me that this will be a good foundation document for the Iraqis. The guarantees of health care and housing for all make this constitution more humanitarian than our own. I could live under this law of the land.
