That is why I love the European press. I was watching the press conference of US colonial administrator in Baghdad early this morning. So the American journalists were asking their typical questions: (Do you like potatoes?"; "At what time did you wake up today?"; "Why do you think that George W. Bush is so adored around the world,"?etc). You know these kind of penetrating questions that one comes to expect from US journalists. And then the BBC correspondent asked his question: "On the subject of your objection to designating Islam as a source of legislation in the new constitution, what business is it of yours to decide Iraq's future?"
