The Iraqi Constitution Draft deserves a fair Up-or-Down vote

John at Power Line is carrying a story that Iraqis want a fair up-or-down vote on the Constitution that has been drafted. Will the terrorists be able to filibuster?

The story reported as an English translation of today's edition of the Iraqi newspaper Alhayat:

...reveals 88% of Iraqis polled said they will participate in the next vote (for the constitution) on the 15th of October...
42% support having Islam being the main source of legislation...
24% support having Islam be the only source of legislation...
13% support not having any law which conflicts with Islam...
14% support having Islam being only one of many sources of legislation, not the only one...
... 84% support giving women full rights and benefits as men.

Can that be right? That's incredible! The situation in Iraq may not turn out to be a bowl of roses, but I take this as great news. Even voting down the current draft would be better than not voting at all.
