#2 Mike, it's annoying that we have to take the blame but I think the ayatollahs are playing this relatively correctly. We'll see how it works out but this is my take on it.

That don't want to blame the sunnis in order to avoid civil war. They correctly blame the terrorists for the massacre. So far so good. But then they blame the americans for lack of security... but this must be put into context. The shiite mullahs only half control their flocks, if they go to far and look like american lackeys then their flocks will turn to more extremist mullahs. So they were stuck in a situation where they had to refuse american security or risk being called american puppets and losing their power. By calling out america for not providing security on these attacks they have given us a backhanded way to allow us to reenter holy sites and provide the security we want to while making them look good to their followers for standing up to america and getting us to "fold". It's a win-win. They just must be careful not to overdue the anti-america act. Remember it's one thing for people to be yelling at you because you didn't help them enought (the case now). It's quite another for them to call us the enemy (which they are not doing).
