Signed, Sealed, But What Does it Deliver?
ResumeThe road ahead may be even rougher, warns The New York Times' John F. Burns from Baghdad. Burns says "Americans could face a darkening path, to an uncertain future." Others see a more hopeful picture and look on today's signing as a step toward democracy in Iraq.
We'll examine the new interim constitution and then get two very different perspectives on what it portends for both Iraq and the U.S.
Guests:
Nicholas Blanford, reporter with the Christian Science Monitor in Baghdad
Ian Lustick, professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania
Max Boot,
senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, author of
"The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power;" Noah Feldman, former senior constitutional advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, professor of constitutional law at New York University.
