The assassination of the President of Iraq's Governing Council makes it crystal clear that the US is failing to create the minimal law-and-order needed for any sort of orderly transfer of power to take place by June 30th. Barely two months ago, the signing of a constitutional document by a US-appointed group of un-elected Iraqi officials was heralded as if it were the re-enactment of America's constitutional convention in Philadelphia in 1787.
伊拉克管理委员会主席遭暗杀清楚地表明：美国未能建立起6月30日和平移交权力所需的最低限度的法律和秩序。仅仅两个月前，由美国任命的若干伊拉克非选举官员签署宪法文件时，人们欢呼雀跃，似乎重新回到了1787年的费城宪法的颁布时刻。
