So Be It
Letter to the New York Times:
Dear Editor:
Your editorial of August 23rd, Iraq’s Unsettling Constitution, speaks of the needs of that country and the United States in order to fulfill Mr. Bush’s “course” that he wants so desperately to stay. Why all the discussion?
What we seem to forget is that it is their constitution, and if they want federalism, so be it. If they want Islamic law to have a place in their government, so be it. If they want to split up the oil revenue so that the Sunnis receive practically nothing, so be it. And if all this causes a problem over there, even to the point of civil war, so be it. It is their country and their constitution and our president and the American ambassador have no right to force them on any part of it just to meet our desires. Hell, we shouldn’t be there in the first place.
