Tough year for new constitutions, part III
BBC News reports the official vote in the Nineveh province as being 44% in favor, so the constitution passes. The victors have the UN stamp of approval.
An interesting aspect of this is the full results by province, at the bottom of the article. Some of the provinces have truly extreme positions in favor or against, 97% to 3% and thereabouts. It leaves the suspicion that after the US pulls military personnel out of the country not everyone is going to be content to settle down and work under this constitution without further discussion.
Of course the editors at BBC News title that, "Iraq voters back new constitution."
