If Sistani agreed to allow US forces to enter Najaf and Karbala to attack Sadr's militia, a civil war will soon hit Iraq. Sistani may be the most respected religious leader but after the latest pictures of US torture and the massacre of hundreds of innocent Iraqis in Fallujah, siding with the occupier will ultimately doom Sistani and lead to greater power for Sadr (or if he is killed, his followers)...

The aide also took aim at Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, a U.S. hard-liner who once served on a Pentagon advisory panel and is regarded as an intellectual architect of the U.S. war in Iraq.
