TK - I for one do believe that there is a reasonable Islamic majority. If there isn't, then I ask once again, what the he!! are we doing in Iraq??? We are about to turn over "sovereignty" to the new Iraqi Govt. Do these people represent a minority? I sincerely hope not or all of our expense in both money and lives will be for naught. I put sovereignty in quotes because after reading this story this morning, I wonder just what kind of sovereignty they will have.

One of the interesting things about this is how the Ayatollah Khomeni used a similar agreement between the Shah and the US as a key component in his Islamic revolution in 1979.
