This Seems Like Good News
Shiite spiritual leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani is calling for the new government finally being formed in Iraq to dismantle the militias who have been murdering each other's members like rival Mafia crews gone to the mattresses (if that's not to lame a term). Al-Sistani is perhaps the most influential religious leader in Iraq, he seems to have a 'render unto Caesar what is Caesar's' pragmatism about him, and he did a lot to stop Iraq from descending into the chaos of a Lebanese type Civil War after the golden dome of the Askariya mosque was blown up more than two months ago.
I call this good news and a good idea.

Indeed, nothing has progressed in Iraq without Sistani's tacit approval. As you point out, he has averted many a crisis.
Do you still think Zarqawi is the General?
I'm sure since Sinstani has spoken, the Peshmerga are just lining up to turn in their weapons. (That is sarcasm by the way.)
