Jingus 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The U.S. led-coalition, facing a Wednesday deadline to hand back power, has put in place major legal revisions that would force Iraqis to get drivers' licenses, obey traffic laws, ban certain people from holding office and place American contractors above the law.

Not eveyone in our country had rights either when our Founders first got into control, and it took many, many years to spread to the whole populace. Iraq is doing fine, and in do time they will hopefully enjoy an idealistic democracy.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
