The heastily contrived UN resolution 1546 on Iraq speaks of a `fully sovereign' interim government. But for the foreseeable future Iraq will have very little of what has been traditionally considered `sovereign'. Sovereignty in the democratic age has been associated with the consent of the naturally free and equal citizens living in a country. The new Iraqi entity, however, does not have supremacy over much and is extensively dominated by external control. - Reproduced.
