Instapundit is bringing some of Austin Bay's Iraq commentary to light. Bay hypothesizes that it is taking the Iraqis so long to form a government (in the parliamentary sense) because they are having to grapple with weighty issues such as Muqtada Sadr steering them toward Iranian style theocracy.
Fortunately Grand Ayatolla al Sistani has lead to a gradual decline in Sadr's capabilities. I like Sistani. He's a smart man. Sistani's aides have referred to Sadr as "a nut but he’s a nut that requires special handling." Currently Sistani has suggested that Shiite politicians be open to compromise with Sunnis. Smart guy. I just hope his health holds up.
