I'm a little concerned that the following fact has not received much attention:

The proposed Iraqi constitution takes effect if it is not defeated by a two-thirds majority in at least three of Iraq's eighteen provinces.

Read that again. The constitution automatically takes effect unless two-thirds majorities in three provinces vote it down.

Isn't that backwards? Shouldn't a constitution require supermajorities in order to take effect? This noitutitsnoc doesn't even need a majority to pass; it only needs one-third-plus-one in every province.

Maybe I'm wrong on the facts here. If I am, please correct me.
