I say we need to start over with a transfer plan. The Iraqi constitution is a dud and will never work. The Governing Council is a bunch of dopes.
We need to pick a guy, just one guy, name him the interim president, and make him the Iraqi face of the occupation. It worked in Afghanistan with Karzai, it can work in Iraq. Adnan Pachachi would be a good choice.
Everyone in Iraq is worried about who might win an election. The Sunnis think the Shi'ites will win and come after them as revenge. the Shi'ites think the Sunnis will win and come after them like they have been doing for 80 years. The Kurds figure they can always break away if they really have to, so they tend to be quiet. Once people see someone in charge, they will realize that the the reality of post-Saddam Iraq does not have to fulfill the negative fantasies.
Get a new constitution, start over, put a definable Iraqi face on this thing.
