New here's some commentary that a Friend just sent, which might speak to this issue:

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq.

Why don't we just give them ours?

It was written by a lot of really smart
guys, it's worked for over 200 years,
and Hell;

We're not using it anymore.

I say sell the Constitution to them and recoup some of the costs of
the war.

And if we cannot profit off their oil, then we can do the Franklin
Mint thing-sell them leather bound copies of the Constitution (after they purchase the Constitution, of course) with gold gilding, sell them busts of Jefferson and Sistani with commemorating spoons ,snow globes, T-shirts and programmes.

    At an additional charge of several billion dollars, we can offer
them a compilation of all of the various Courts' interpretations of the Constitution.

We can throw in the architectural plans to the Jefferson Memorial to sweeten the deal.

And then we can go on to the Bill of Rights...
