The idea of a diversion away from Iran is an interesting one.
Lord knows Iran has been swinging the U.N. around the maypole for months now. Talk, talk, build, build.
I have been hearing from military sources that they are getting a lot of cooperation in taking out the Sadr militia from Iraqi civilians. Phone tips and other quiet assistance. Understandably, the civilians aren't sticking their necks out any farther than they have to.
