Sistani: Cleric of the Occupation

This diary of the July War of 2006 by an aides to Nabih Birri reveals that the latter had to pressure the Sistani to issue a statement about the Qana Massacre II.  Sistani  must have been scared of his American sponsors.  I have said it before and I say it again: Sistani will be remembered in Middle East history--or should be remembered--as akin to Antoine Lahd.
