#3 Just my take, but I suggest you reread the story, GG. Sounds to me like Moqtada's in the driver's seat and playing statesman because it suits him, not because of any pressure. Fact is, the Sunnis could boycott from now until the end of time - and affect absolutely nothing, as they max out at about 20%-22% of the Parliament. |

#2 Sounds like ol' Moqtada suddenly remembered what happened last time the Sunnis boycotted the political process. |

#1 Well this should clarify things regards Tater. He's the power behind the throne. The Mullahs' enforcer inside the Shia "government". And the Sunnis get it, since he's playing the age-old power game they understand. Why, he's a friggin hero. Total impunity. And, although he can arrange the release of the kidnapped MP, that doesn't mean he's involved. Nope. 'Course not. That's silly. |
