Theocrats or scumbags?

That's the choice.

If an election is held in Iraq, it is by far most likely that a Shi'ite group would win.

According to Knight-Ridder, the Shi'ite are split into two factions.

One faction is led by an secular alliance of Chalabi, Al Sadr and Sistani.

And the other is an Iranian-style theocracy.

The top opponents to clerical guidance are former Pentagon favorite Ahmad Chalabi, supporters of the rebel Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr and allies of Sistani.

Lovely.

As I said before, only bad choices.
