The Iraqi government is foolish, they allow American ideas to destroy the ground work for peace among their people. I think the 'trust' of the Maliki government is gone this time. I don't believe there will be any settlement this time. The Sistani Shia didn't start this, their central government did. The Iraqi government is killing its people. The only person that can stop this is the one that stopped it before and that is the Grand Ayatollah al Sistani.
