Amazing news via Michael Totten. The Awakenings in Iraq have only been a Sunni phenomenon in the last year and a half. But because of the criminality and disgusting behaviour of the Shia militias, it looks like the Shia sheiks are copying the model. This is fantastic news for the US, for Iraq and for everyone in the world who wishes the Iraqi nation well. If the militia's are defeated, there will be no entry point into Iraqi politics for the Iranians and the Syrians, and for groups like AQiI. Long may this continue.
As an afterthought- did Muqtada Al-Sadr know that this development was imminent when he declared his unilateral ceasefire a couple of weeks back? If so, it shows how important it is to the future development of Iraq.
