In the contemporary history of the Arabs, the name Grand (not really) Ayatullah Sistani will go down on the same shameful list of people like Anwar Sadat, Salam Fayyad, Muhammad Dahlan, Rafiq Hariri, Bashir Gemayyel, King Fahd, King Khusayn, and Iyad Allawi. It will be remembered that Sistani sold Iraq to the American occupiers.
PS No, I am not writing this because of the widely circulated story in Arab internet about an alleged section in Rumsfeld's memoirs about him. I know that the story is a hoax.
