Democracy or disintegration, Iraqis decide by Jim Lobe

If the constitution is defeated in the referendum, Fareed Zakaria, former foreign affairs managing editor and editor of Newsweek International, told ABC News' This Week Sunday, "Sunnis [will] have demonstrated that they have real power. And they'll be re-incorporated. That ... is the good news scenario.

"The bad case scenario," he went on, "they're not able to defeat it [the constitution] ... [then the Sunnis] retain all the alienation, all the antipathy, and forge ahead not defeating it peacefully, but defeating it the way they're trying now, which is violently and through civil war."
