#1 The Iraqi goverment ought to announce any mosque that is used to incite terrorist acts will be razed and the imams tossed in jail. I bet the Imams get quiet and mosques quit being used a weapons depots.

#2 I think think they'd just circle the wagons, SPo'D and provide the True Believer wankers with yet another excuse to take to the streets.

Allawi's chances of getting elected in Jan, 2005 are probably very low, but perhaps rising. As we've read from various sources, many Yagoub (that's Joe in Arab-speak) Avg Iraqis want the terrorists stopped - a much higher ratio of Shi'a than Sunni, of course. Allawi is now facing what all politicians face - and he's betwixt a rock and a hard place mainly because the only people who could rally support for what must be done to civilize Iraq, the religious "leaders", are assholes. Sorry Em, but accuracy counts, too.

What game are the Shi'a "leaders" playing? The Sunnis are, clearly, Ba'athist asshats cuz those who didn't support the Party were prolly purged a decade or more ago.

Ask Sistani and his ilk WTF and you'll know if the Shi'a want chaos or peace, and why. I believe they rather like the chaos as it gives them the opportunity to maintain their power - and not share it with the Gov't.

Iraqis in positions of real power who want a peaceful democratic Iraq can be counted on one hand, methinks.
