REACT: Iraq and the Constitution

The news is full of reports suggesting that the possibility of missing the deadline for the new constitution in Iraq is some sort of sign that things are going badly (the constant mantra of the left and much of the press). Well, we prevailed over England in 1776, but did not get a Constitution in place until 1789 -- thirteen years later (for those of you who attended urban public schools). Frankly, things are going as well as can be expected in Iraq.
