| #4 I'm sure Iran is doing what it can to affect our elections. So, too, the Saudis and China. The Brits will try, but condescending letters to Ohioans from Professor Dawkins and his friends just doesn't have the same impact. ;-) Chuck, if this is indeed Iran's Tet Offensive, they've screwed themselves, because the mainstream media no longer form opinions as they did in the heyday of Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite. Rush Limbaugh gets his information elsewhere, and so do we hear. |

| #2 I wonder if Sadr is trying to influence our upcoming election in the fall thinking that he will put a "woose" in the Whitehouse (Hillary or Obama). |

| #1 Whilst not discounting the Iranian role, I think this is primarily an Iraqi affair. Terrorism is a business and needs its revenue streams. In many respects it's not much different from organized crime. This is primarily a fight over who gets those revenue streams. A fight governments invariably win or they don't remain as governments. So, I see this as a very positive development, the Iraqi government asserting its control over the revenue from the southern oilfields. |
