Sistani is one that I would actually like to speak with. How he became sane is a big mystery.

They've gotten around to blaming the U.S.

The country's most revered Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, sent instructions to his followers forbidding attacks on Sunni mosques, especially the major ones in Baghdad.

Sort of like the revised First Commandment: "Do not kill, at least not the important people".

"This is a big deal. Civil war is coming."

Could be, this looks to be a desperate gamble by the Sunnis to start a civil war, reshuffle the desk, so to speak since they don't like the hand the election dealt them.

"This is a big deal. Civil war is coming."

If only we could stir up a wider civil war of Sunnis vs. Shiites...an Islamic civil war.

Hmmm, I kinda like that idea, but we should try for a democratic secular Iraq first.

maybe some mad Shi'ite will blow up the dome of the rock in retaliation, which would allow the Jews to rebuild their temple.

Has the idea of converting Iraq to Christianity occurred to anybody?

That was Ann Coulter's prescription for all Muslim countries from the beginning. "Invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

Moos don't get to have this much fun. Sucks to be them.
