Iraq Constitution Distributed Amid Attacks


BAGHDAD, Iraq - Residents of one of Baghdad's most insurgent-hit neighborhoods received copies of Iraq's draft constitution Thursday, though some refused to take it and some shopkeepers balked at passing it out, fearing reprisals by militants determined to wreck the crucial Oct. 15 referendum.

Insurgents continued their wave of violence with attacks in and around the capital, including the suicide bombing of a minibus, that killed at least 20 Iraqis and an American soldier.

Despite the bloodshed, Iraqis in the southern Baghdad neighborhood of Dora had their first look at the document they will vote on in nine days, though distribution of the U.N.-printed blue booklets _ emblazoned "The constitution is in your hands" _ got off to a slow start elsewhere.

"If we like it, we will vote 'yes.' If we don't, we'll say 'no,'" said Lamia Dhyab, a Shiite woman in a head-to-toe veil.

1. The "constitution" is total crap.

Contradictions, hollow promises. Absolute rubbish.

I hope it fails.

2. If they use thick enough parchment, it might make good body armor.

Not funny. I'll just get my coat...

4. Hey, I try.

I rarely succeed. But I try.

Gosh, that's truely awful. I don't envy anyone who's at the end of the Bush regime's tricks. May they be safe, and may they return well.
