...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...

It would be more sincere for niqab-wearers to say that they accept the cost of refusing to compromise on the niqab; that it will be considered provocative by their non-Muslim fellow citizens, that it might slow their own assimilation into British...
...ceiling above me, and the little I can see between the windows of the coffee table. I lie, finding myself impressed with his architectural vision, until he surprises me with the blanket.
