For those of you who thought that the Iraqi Constitution vote was good news - you're wrong again! It's actually quite bad, or at least the AP thinks so:
Sunnis Appear to Fall Short in Iraq Vote
This is the title! Shouldn't it read "Terrorists fail to stop young democracy" or "Shiites appear to uphold landmark constitution"?
But the outcome could further divide the nation, with many Sunnis fearing the new decentralized government will deprive them of their fair share in the country's vast oil wealth. Large numbers of Sunnis voted "no," and some of their leaders were already rejecting the apparent result
....
In a sign of the relentless danger, five U.S. soldiers were killed Saturday
...
Enthusiasm was highest in Salahuddin and the Anbar city of Fallujah, where some 100,000 people voted - and the constitution's success could hit hardest in those areas. Anbar already is the main battleground between Sunni insurgents and U.S.-Iraqi forces...
That's right, don't get to enthusiastic - it just means more terrorist attacks. The AP can hardly hold back their extreme disappointmentt about the landmark Iraqi constitution vote. It seems pretty obvious to me what side they're on...
