...Regardless of the state of play militarily around Fallujah, the political arithmetic remains something of a migraine - the steps needed to placate the Sunni base of the insurgency could inflame the already angry Shiites, while the steps needed to accommodate Shiite aspirations are precisely those being resisted by the Sunnis.
