As I said in another thread, you can bet your ass that when a new constitution is hashed out for Iraq, a provision for separation of church and state will be written into it. There's no way that the American overseers are going to let it fly otherwise. It'll be "back to the drawing board until you get it right" until the final draft meets with GWB's appointees' approval.

The question is whether or not the Iraqi people will actually pay any attention to such a provision.

By the way, the only provision for separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution is in Amendment One of The Bill of Rights which only states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...". It doesn't say word one about, "The people shall not elect a religious fanatic President".
