Iraq : Voting begins
Polls have opened on time amid tight security in Iraq, where people are voting on a new constitution designed to secure the future of the country.
President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jafaari were among the first to cast their ballots.
Iraqi troops and police, along with US-led foreign forces, have been deployed to try to prevent insurgents disrupting the referendum.
Iraq's borders have been closed to non-essential traffic.
Private cars are banned from roads in many areas.

If it passes, will the left (aka Anti-Bush) group say the vote is a farse and they dont represent the country?
Or will they just accept that maybe things are not as hopeless as they have implied.
Amen g
hehehe G i have already said the vote will pass , further down this page ..
The vote will have no impact on the insurgancy at all and bring no change to the country apart from
giving Iran a much larger say in running the country
bringing full islamic law to the south
making more sunni's angry
so the answer is neither
I have always hoped that the constitution would be re-written so that the Sunni got a fair deal that is true
but it looks like it will pass , and only the very stupid with actually believe this will have any effecton bringing the troops home or stopping the violence
all this will proove to us G is that we are settingh up a Shia dictatorship that will be more islamic and just as twisted as saddam
nice job
well done
really worth losing all those american , british amd iraqi lives for was it ?
:-)
