Husayn over at "Democracy in Iraq" makes a comment about the possibility of having a theocracy in Iraq.
I think there is a misunderstanding of the language used by these clerics. Indeed, this win will give clerics more importance, but it does not mean they will rule us. I have posted before, that Sistani does not mix politics and religion, this makes him different from Khomeni. He has always said that religious leaders should be more like advisors. I do not necessarily have a problem with that.
And continues to say:
I tell you all to not worry, people have worked so hard, have given so much, to be free, we are not going to turn around and elect in people who will shackle us again.
The whole piece here.
New points of view about the future of Iraq and the Middle East.
