A somewhat bizarre op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal today by Bernard Lewis and James Woolsey says, in essence, that we could just dust off Iraq's 1925 Constitution, since it has a lot of good provisions about religious freedom and add a little bit about women's rights, and presto! No need for a drawn out constituent assembly and constitution drafting. Then the kicker--that Constitution entrusts the country to the Hashemite rulers, the original 1925 King and his heirs. So, they suggest, we find a youngish Hashemite and make him King. (This is the same family that rules Jordan.) This made no sense to me until I put it together with the recent posts on CalPundit and Talking Points about the search for a quick exit strategy. A King???? Sounds like a trial balloon to me.
