This Grand Ayatollah (Muntadhari) in Iran (who has been persecuted by the Iranian regime) has wise words about the exclusion of Ayatollahs from power: "I believe, considering Iran's experience, Iraqi clerics should not interfere in the country's state matters." This is not their field of expertise and should be dealt with by experts." Ayatollahs of all religions (including Grand Ayatollah Bush) should heed those words.
