The more the shia clerics move to Iraq, the weaker the hardliners in Iran get, It can be argued the more clerics that move to Iraq, the more strengthened the Iranian hardliners are in Iran as they lose internal opposition. and they are already weakened by internal woes. You see? Removing their local opposition. What Iraqi liberation has done is give more liberal clerics a place to retreat when things get too rough in Iran - unless they are met in Iraq by assassination squads. It's pretty clear that's what happened to Khoi (although he didn't come from Iran). It's not yet clear there will be debate in Najaf and Baghdad or if we are going to see goon squads competing for sacred sites. The violence of the un-modern Shiite Iranian and Saddamite regimes has left a bad precedent.
