Not for long. Sunnis make up 20% of the country. They are asking for an
ethnic cleansing if they think they can regain control by arms. Iran
has shipped in too much weaponry for the shiites, and there is no
longer any C3I like what Saddam had. They best they can hope for is to
show up at city hall with hat in hand thankful that their own people
got elected to represent their districts in parliament.

Also, only 23% of the population want an islamic government, according
to a survey of 2,000 iraqis three weeks ago. Most want secularism.
