Release the Hounds! Let the Balkinization Begin! In agreeing to agree in principle on the understanding of the principles of the draft of the understanding of the new constitution, the Shiites and the Kurds have really done it!

Shiites and Kurds were sending a draft constitution to parliament on Monday that would fundamentally change Iraq, transforming the country into a loose federation, with a weak central administration governed by Islamic law, negotiators said.

The draft, slated for action by a Monday deadline, would be a sweeping rejection of the demands of Iraq's disaffected Sunni minority, which has called the proposed federal system the start of the breakup of Iraq. Shiites and Kurds indicated they were in no mood to compromise.

Leaving out the other third of the population? Not a problem, why they're just acting like Preznit Swallow Not Spit, and ignoring everyone who doesn't agree with them. After all, what are the Sunni's going to do, fight?
