...parties will also be obstacles-and, of course, the Grand Ayatullah Ali Husaini Sistani will need to be assuaged-but the strength of these groups has diminished as Sadr's power has increased in the past year, and it is possible they can be brought into the tent. The threat of a U.S. withdrawal, which would leave these groups at the mercy of both Sadr and the Sunnis, can be effectively paired with financial carrots and positions on the Executive Council. The Kurds would have to be guaranteed continuing autonomy. Strong U.S. financial and logistical support of an expanded Iraqi...
