I am not a law professional and before trying to take a look at that thing people talk about called the second amendment, less than ten years ago, I was not even sufficiently clear on what role it should play. But now that I am better in understanding that and have read the Constitution of this country, I wonder about the additional complication related to writing a new constitution for Iraq during the more urgent stage at the beginning of establishing a democratic system there. How much could people differ in their need at such a starting point and for a thing that allows being amended like this constitution? Actually, it even just require restricting the mode of amending stated there to only public voting, to make approval of amendments caries the same validity as approval of the Constitution.
Now for the situation in Yemen, those who are really for democracy, whoever they are, are the good guys, and those who oppose that are the bad guys no matter who they are, and the Constitution of this country, with its amendments, is one ready starting point for beginning a democratic process everywhere.
