Governing Council Opposes Arab Identity Of Iraq
Amidst a heated controversy triggered by Washington’s opposition to Islam being the principal source of legislation in Iraq, the U.S.-handpicked Interim Governing Council refused to reaffirm the Arab identity of Iraq in the temporary constitution.

The council is charged with writing the temporary constitution, or fundamental law, that will govern Iraq until national elections are held in 2005, a job that should be finalized before February 28.

The majority of the council members have turned down a memorandum submitted by the General Secretariat of National Action in Iraq that the constitution clearly stipulates that Iraq is part and parcel of the Arab nation...

2. Not surprising
When do you think the next revolution will occur? Or have the United States learned their lesson and therefore will keep 40-60,000 troops there indefinitely? The interminable puppet government.

4. Does America have a "white identity"?
Opposing an official "Arab identity" is the right thing to do, especially given the fact that there is a large non-Arab minority population in Iraq.
