#1 Nope but in repayment for help with the police Iraquis could help the Euros with their Constitution. They can't be worse than Giscard d'Estaing.

#2 Somebody made the comment that the EU should just copy the U. S. constitution and do a global search and replace of Europe for States. That is really true for new democracies like Iraq. This proportional representation stuff is really a level of filtration designed to reduce accountability.

#3 Eh, the US consitution was built while taking the power structure and concerns of the states into consideration
Big state vs Small states, big pop Vs small pop, and how much slaves counted for...etc

as such it's not useful for an ethnicly and religously divided country...
