Re: Fall of Rome, fall of liberal democracy?

A viable constitution of any modern nation-state republic, is not a
financial contract to be drafted by unscrupulous law firms associated
with lustful financial houses, but, must be, like our own 1776
Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of our Federal
Constitution, an affirmation of universal principles of natural law.
Iraq has such a Constitution, forged in struggle against oppression,
and in the search for unity of common interest among the communities
of which that fighting nation was composed.
    The troubles which that Constitution had suffered, up to the
outbreak of the recent U.S. war in Iraq, were not only tendencies
toward usurpation of the powers of the state from within Iraq, but the
meddling of international powers within the affairs of not only Iraq
itself, but the larger region. Presently, since Sept. 11, 2001, within
our own U.S.A., certain forces within the Congress, among the parties,
and in the Executive Branch, have exploited a perception of crisis to
undermine and virtually nullify crucial features of our own
Constitution in the misused name of "emergency." How could such an
Administration and party factions as those, be permitted to adopt a
holier-than-thou attitude toward the recently toppled government of
Iraq? At the spectacle of such official U.S. hypocrisy, the watching
world vomits.
    Today, Iraq is faced with the same kinds of constitutional
challenges under which its presently outstanding Constitution came
into being. Therefore, the U.S. Government were a fool, if it
attempted, as it is now, to fix that which is not broken; to replace a
true Constitution forged in history, with a pact drafted by crooked
lawyers. Nothing better fits the situation in Iraq today, than that
outstanding Constitution. That should be the opinion of the government
of the U.S.A.
    Meanwhile, now, as sometimes, the humiliation of one's own
government, when done for the sake of freeing that government from
self-destructive practices, is the most patriotic act of all. We
should not be awed by scoundrels who, like Vice-President Cheney and
his Richly-endowed I. Lewis Libby, wrap their wicked deeds in the name
of "patriotism."
