"if the Shi-ites may have become nothing much than a field of cows waiting to be led to the slaughter."

I wouldn't put any serious money on that one. It is much more likely that they have learned the value of patience. They have something they've only dreamed about nearly in their grasp. The potential problem is that they probably have very long memories. When they have full control, the way the Sunnis behaved in the past and the present might come back to haunt them. While that would be their just desserts, it doesn't help the stability problem at all...
