solution
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately:
illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida...
Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.
+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like me to solve today? Yes!
Think about this one:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
THE CONSTITUTION
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 has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:
You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians... It creates a hostile work environment.

Re: solution
I sorta kinda agree here, except on the constitution thing. Here's why:
-The US constitution was written to strike a balance between state powers and federal government. They don't have (official) states in Iraq, and if you were going to divide the country into states (Kurd, Sunni, Shia) it could result in Iraq fragmenting into 3 different countries.
-Considering the anti-americanism that is present in the middle east, a carbon copy of the US constitution would immediately result in cries of "cultural imperialism" etc.
But most modern constitutions are based at least somewhat in the US constitution, much to its credit. I just dont think that a direct copy would work.
