The article focuses on the influence of Sunni Arabs on the creation of Iraq's new constitution. The framers of Iraq's draft constitution were still wrestling with issues like federalism and de-Baathification at the end of last week. The situation is so fluid that the negotiators could reach consensus any day--or not. But even if they do hammer out an agreement that would allow the nation-wide constitutional referendum scheduled for October 15, 2005 to go forward, the battle for the future of Iraq has already moved from Baghdad to the provinces, to places like Haditha. That's because in less than a week voter registration will end, and the focus of the world will turn to four key Sunni-dominated provinces in central and northern Iraq. If two thirds of the voters in any three Iraqi provinces reject the constitution, the current government will be dissolved, forcing new elections and an entirely new constitution.
