The US did just great with its 18th Amendment. Just what Iraq needs, more black markets and organized crime. m/rIraq parliament in surprise vote to ban alcohol
October 23, 2016
Baghdad
(AFP) - Iraq's parliament on Saturday voted to ban the sale, import and
production of alcohol, in a surprise move likely to anger some
minorities but also to please influential religious parties.
Proponents of the ban argue that it is justified by the constitution, which prohibits any law contradicting Islam.
But some opponents argue that it also violates the same constitution which guarantees the traditions of religious minorities.
According
to an MP and a parliament official, the ban was a last-minute addition
to a draft law on municipalities that caught the anti-ban camp
flat-footed.
