.Sistani not an Iranian lackey
"'Two cables from late 2009 described the limits of Iranian sway over its neighbor, with one saying that its "greatest political roadblock" for Iran was differences between Iranian religious leaders and Iraq's pre-eminent Shiite spiritual leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. In the March 2010 parliamentary polls, al-Sistani's call for an open-list ballot - allowing voters to select individual candidates - won out over Tehran's preference for a closed list, which would have favored established parties, the cable said.'"

Sistani funnels money to Iran
Sistani for Nobel! Uh, wait a minute, Rich, you may want to hold off on printing those bumper stickers for a little while.
From the Wall Street Journal (subscription only), with thanks to Erick Stakelbeck:
Iraq's most prominent Shiite religious leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, maintained close ties with Tehran during Saddam Hussein's rule and today channels millions of dollars monthly into Islamic research centers and theological schools in Iran, according to his Web site, demonstrating the growing convergence of Iran's and Iraq's religious elite.
LOL, Mad Tom, I posted my anti-Sistani spiel at ali-Zhainy's and Mojo deleted my comment.
I often wonder how Iraqis can handle Democracy when they can't even cope with comments on their blogs?
"Thirty Years of Tyranny do Terrible Things to a People"
So, condemned for life. No hope at all, What of us Cubans?
Iraq is a funny kind of place, the Ayatollah is the sane looking one.
For all the things Sistani did or did not do, he never called for a Shi'a Jihad against the Americans. Had he lifted a finger in that direction, what do you think would have happened?
"ali-Zhainy's"? Who is that?
