re:This was a major issue. Iran was slowly moving towards reform. Many of the candidates that were denied a place on the ballot were reformists. In one fell swoop, the conservative Ayatollahs came in and swept the rug out from under reform.

And western reporters in Iraq actually have to ask why a new Constitution would not be driven by Sharia law.

That's right. I'm sure the Ayatollah Sistani of Iraq is in close communication with the ayatollahs of Iran. If the Sharia is invoked, I am pretty sure the Kurds would rebel. From what I can tell, they are not nearly as religious as the Shiites.

Things are just starting to warm up.
