Shiites vs Jihadists

The Jihadists are panicking that they’re losing control of Iraq. At least, that’s what this document implies. Here’s hoping. But we need to keep an eye on who therefore is winning control of Iraq. The threat may be shifting from al Qaeda-type Sunni elements to Iran-controlled Shiite ones, infiltrated into the police forces. Still, it’s great news that Qaeda is feeling heat. Triumphalism can be read here. I’d be less complacent, but I’m certainly heartened, especially by the possibility that al Qaeda may be losing the media war in Iraq. If you kill hundreds of innocent Muslims, maybe Muslims will end up disliking you. Did that ever occur to you, Mr Zarqawi?
