#1 I don't remember what's the exact word used for the feeling I have toward theses clowns, but I'm pretty sure it involves a heavy dose of indifference, mixed with a slight element of schadenfreude. It will come back to me.

#2 You realize that Iran is behind these attacks with the purpose of putting Sadr in control of Iraq?

Do you still have that feeling of indifference?

#3 Regarding the future of Iraq and the involvement of Iran, yup, I'm worried (but only for what it means to the West).
For the iraqi themselves, I couldn't care less, and I won't even tell how I feel for the sunnis.

#4 But then again, I'm a selfish wanker, not very muslim-friendly, so it's not surprizing, is it?

#5 Okay, so Iran is behind these attacks. I see three possible outcomes. (1) Pretext to US attack upon Iran (2) Rwanda style Sunni/Shia war in which Sadr is killed (3) Rwanda style Sunni/Shia war in which Sadr ends upon top.

Somehow I think option 3 unlikely as the Sunni will target him, the US will target him, and the Shia in power will target him.

I also don't see how any of the 3 options favor the Sunni, and at some point they will finish off the Al Queda presence in their midst out of a sense of self-preservation.
