#1 That's why I call him the Godfather. "Sadr's small potatoes."

#2 Iraq’s Sistani calls for dismantling militias

This is big, a very good thing. I hope Ali Al Sistani survives long enough to help see this through.

#5 Has Sistani ever been out of the Middle East? He really seems to get it.

#6 I'm hoping Sistani has airtight security. Tater already killed one favorable Shite leader when he arrived from the UK (2003)

#7 "Sistani" keeps sounding so much associated with "cistern",the sort that is so closely association with the septic tank till you can't tell them apart.

#8 The question in my mind is whether Sistani thinks that the Shia who count are already in the government, the army and the police... meaning that the only militias left are Sunni, Sadr's and Badr. In other words, the competition.

#9 "...militias must be disarmed and that weapons should be in the hands of the government alone". Hmm... that smacks of gun control big government. There is much to ponder at the implications of that coming from Sissitani.
