The first paragraph of the Iraq Constitution reads: "This shall be an Islam government, and the Koran is the rule of the land". This phrase should be replaced with: There shall be no establishment of religion and the free exercise thereof.
There is no freedom of religion, no Bill of Rights, and no peace.

I think they should have the freedoms in which the United States has or at least similar. If it isn't then why are our Men and Women fighting for?

I would say neither. Iraq has their own culture, religion and their own " Bill of Rights". If people are happy with their relgions ( I mean the religion only, not the conflics), they just leave them alone. Honestly speaking, do you really thing that American follow closely the Bill of Right in such as " There shall be no establishment of religions...."
By the way, how do you offer Iraqi Freedom of Religions/ Bill of Rights without troops and bomb ?

American and European ideals in a arab world likely would not fair to well. These people have been indoctrinated from birth. I agree, it would be nice to see a truely free Iraq people, but as long as muslim law is the rule of the land I don't think its possible. I say more troops and bombs, because the latter is not going to happen.

Before they can make any progress at all amongst themselves Americans MUST leave. Why do you think these decisions are up to you? The damage image inflicted by the U.S. thus far will take a minimal 30 years of healing.

which is best for America? more restrictions of liberties by the patriot act? or actually following the Constitution?
Ben Franklin said " those who would sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither"

Its THEIR country.
Its THEIR constitution.
THEY should decided what they want and what they don't want.
Haven't we done enough damage to them with at least 45,000 of their people dead? Why should we enforce on them OUR ideas of what is right and what is wrong?
It was wrong for us to invade using lies and out of context information.
It was wrong for us to leave Sadam in power an extra 13 years- we should have removed him the first time but we didn't
