Iraqi Shiites

Fire of Liberty

Robert Kagan has a good column in The Washington Post on the Shiites in Iraq. While people in the press and from the left have lamented that Iraq's Shi'ite majority will probably become a new Iran, Kagan argues that the fears are overblown and that the Iranians should be more fearful of Iraqi Shiites living in freedom. I highly recommend this column for anyone seeking an understanding of the Shiite majority in Iraq.
