#2 Something tells me that Sistani and his allies are not going to allow the shrine to be occupied by the Tater chips again, not at least without a fight.

#4 Tater is going to keep throwing balls of s**t at the Iraqis (Allawi and Sistan) until they finally get tired of it.

#6 History shows that an outside enemy, especially and ancient and cultural one, is a common way to unite a nation. And most religions save their highest venom and hatred for heretics and religious sectarian rivals.

Iran is on the losing end of this.

If there is one thing that can bring the Shia and Sunni and Kurds togehter in Iraq, its the the threat of the Persians screwing with them.

This goes way back, centuries.

If they can publicise hard and substantial links between Tater and the Iranians, all bets are off.
