#1 Somehow, I can't see this helping Sadr's popularity as the bombs keep killing Shiites.

#2 Should have doused the flame when it was its time to go. Methinks Dr. Bremer decided to let this paritcular flame continue.

Fog of war? Realpolitik coming home to roost, sezeye. Aargh.

Is there a statute of limitations in Iraq?

#3 No statute of limitations for a grudge or an insult against your tribe. It is eternal.

#4 Or at least until the other side is dead or scattered.

#5 We can get stuck on past mistakes or change the dynamics on the ground, just as Z just did.

#6 Partly this is Sistani's fault.

I think we didn't kill Tater because Sistani asked us not to. Sistani said he would take care of it and he sort of did with some subtle and not so subtle verbal put downs.

But they were too few, too subtle, too gentle.
