#1 "get more Sunnis involved in drafting the constitution"

Yes, of course. By all means. After all, who in Iraq knows more about what should be in the Iraqi Constitution than those who've fought this moment every step of the way? Brilliant (UK definition).

#2 Letsee - our infamous state dept as well as the Kurdish and Shiite politicians, who have US supplied bodyguards, think it's swell to involve more blood thirsty sunnis in drafting the constitution. But the ordinary shiite and kurds on the street who were and still are being victimized by sunni violence say that this idea stinks. Who makes better sense - hmmm(scratching of the head), why, the insulated politicians and state dept, obviously.

#3 We propose forming a committee ... with representatives from across Iraq
ROFL! That's what Parliament is, you idiot. Remember those elections you boycotted? You snooze, you lose. Deal with it.

#4 âWe want our Shiite partners to give us an expanded role in this process.â

How about voting like everyone else? No vote, no voice. That was your choice. Take a number; line forms right over there. We'll get back to ya in a few years...

#6 But their lack of parliamentary representation has cost them dearly in getting a voice on Parliamentâs constitutional committee. The 55-member body includes just two Sunnis.

Whose fault is that? Isn't the reason they have minimal representation because they refused to participate??

Life's tough, boys. It's even tougher when you're stupid.
