LostInSpace Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I don't understand what the hoopla is with the media about the length of time it's taking Iraq and it's drafting up a constitution. Good thing they weren't around in the begining of the United States they would have been in their glory. The Constitutional Convention Took a year for us. From September 1786-September 17, 1787 (for the final draft). Just like in Iraq there were some that weren't happy with it either. They either left completely or just didn't sign it but it went ahead anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chavis Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Actually....it's not the media. Bush wants it wraped up ASAP. And you are right,good thing the media as we now know it wasn't around back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the majority on the panel didn't think this was doom or gloom like some of the other few. Personally, I'm like leave them alone already. It will be done when it's done. Not a second sooner. What do they want speed or quality? CNN: No agreement yet on Iraq constitution Reading the above link doesn't it sound awefully familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aperson Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 It's the media, so speed as then they can "report" on the signing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Prezioso Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 The fact that the process is taking so long is, in my view, evidence of them taking the process seriously. Why would they fight so hard to hammer out an agreement on the constitution if they did not intend to abide by it? As always, I am the eternal optimist. EDIT: BTW Asperson, welcome to the community!

Aperson Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I just saw the link Lost gave and I'm surprised they can make an article so long about something so simple. In any event I agree with the sentiment that the new goverment taking it slowly to create their constitution is probably a good thing. quote: BTW Aperson, welcome to the community!

Wow. A conservative watching PBS. Cool! If you've caught some earlier threads (well to be honest that was long before you joined), I have stated on numerous occasions I read and watch everything. Be it Uber liberal or Neo-conservative and everything in between. No matter the source (well perhaps tabloids). I digest them all and try to come up with my own take on things. I've been watching PBS for a long long time. Like documentaries etc.. I started watching it when I discovered Monty Python on it a long long time ago and since then a lot of other british comedies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chavis Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 PBS Rocks! Unfortunately,not all PBS's are equal. Well...as long as they broadcast most of the main feed. Like the 'News hour with Jim Lehrer'. A good 60 minute news report,with emphasis on selected stories. Oh....Soundstage was pretty good last night with Ringo Starr.
