<Now there is a real danger of a hardline cleric taking hold of iraq which is much much worse for women than the non-religious tyrants like Saddam Hussein.> Tell that to the thousands of families looking for the remains of their loved ones buried in mass graves by Saddam. BTW, from the NY Times: <In central Iraq today, a prominent Shiite cleric said that redressing the Shiites' long exclusion from political power was necessary. But the cleric, Ayatollah Muhammad Bakr al-Hakim, also said there was no single demand for a new political system from Shiites, who are a majority in Iraq. "They have divergent views and that's what democracy is all about," Ayatollah Hakim said.> Just thought you'd like to know what's REALLY going on with the "hardline clerics". Oh, and Romania is sending in 500 troops to add to coalition security forces in Iraq. Dang those "new Europe" countries for supporting the "unilateral cowboy." ;-)
