I neither like, nor strongly dislike, al-Sistani. He seems like a typical bearded Arab strongman. As long as he is *sympathetic* with US interests in Iraq and the Middle East at large, I don't understand why we should make an enemy of him.
Same goes for the Saudis, unpopular a sentiment as that is. Sure, their family is scum, but they've been loyal scum since before the Coolidge administration. Seems rotten of us to try to overthow them only to see them replaced by Socialists or Islamists.
