My concern with the Gerecht piece (beyond the Chalabio-worship contained therein) is that the timing seems oh-so-convenient ... it's like "Oh, see these Shi'ite clerics that we said weren't going to take over Iraq because there was a secular elite desperate for democracy? Never mind that. Shi'ite clerics rule!!!!11!!!!" (not to mention that the top three parties on Sistani's list are all Khomeneists. Are they going to back off the whole "clerical rule" thing?)
