The sectarian agitation of Iraqi prime minister. I heard the speech that Ibrahim Ja`fari gave in Najaf yesterday. I could not believe it. He made an appeal to Sunni--only Sunni--clerics to refrain from divisiveness and to promote national unity. First, has his government promoted national unity? Secondly, it is incumbent on all, and not only on Sunni clerics, to promote national unity. Why to place the onus only on Sunnis? That is sectarian.
