Important to note

We've heard a lot of talk about the role that Islam will play in the new Iraqi constitution. It seems as though that issue has been settled once and for all.

Regarding Islam and the constitution: it was agreed upon that no laws that are against the widely agreed upon values of Islam can be issued and no laws that are against the values of democracy and human rights can be issued.

If someone could please define "democracy" and "human rights," I'll be all set.

Also, in terms of oil reserves (ahem):

Natural resources according to the draft will be managed in cooperation between the central government and the local administrations of the federal states/provinces.

So no one can hog it all. Excellent.
