#2 Vote-buying is not an unheard of phenomenon in the Middle East, but Lebanon is considered on top of the list of regional countries where it is practiced.

Also practiced in that third world country called Chicago, and by its refugees whereever they alight.

#3 He seems to be a well seasoned and tempered leader. He has done well for Iraq and he does not use his standing often so when he makes these decisions, they count.

I kind of like Sistani.
