Philadelphia 1787 vs. Baghdad 2005

Fred Kaplan at Slate illustrates the difference between now and then. Don't let anyone fool you. It is not the same.

Occupation is miles away from liberation.

No U.S soldier should be dying for shari'a law. The draft constitution says no law in Iraq can contflict with Islamic law while in other places it says no law can contradict human rights or democracy.

Neat trick.
