I wonder if these people are the underlying reason Khoei(pro-west) was hacked to death along with Kelidar who purported was a Saddam Hussein loyalist in Najaf. Who the hell knows? I posted this yesterday, with a note that I could not figure out what they were up to. I guess, since they are in Iran, that they are having to be very anti-american in their statements. Whether they mean it, TWT. And there are probably some clerics that have stayed outside of Iraq that will want to try for power there. I think the best way to look at these Muslim religious leaders it to compare them to a group of Southern Evangelical Preachers jockeying for followers. With the difference that their followers are not adverse to killing off other leaders. What we want to do is stay on the outside of these groups and try not to piss them off at us. They will come running to us for support, and we need to be even handed. This will sort itself out over the next few weeks. The biggest problem I see right now is that we are getting too much information. These reporters are giving us a "Blow by Blow" of every little civil action going on, and blowing up the unrest to make a better story out of it. And here on the thread it is starting to sound like the first week of the war, when we could only see what looked like confusion.
