20. Al-Sadr, al-Sistani and the Shia population is without question
the most serious issue in Iraq. With 60% of the population, the Shia's are the key to any type of stability in the country. If the US, can't find a way to have Sistani intervene in the al-Sadr issue, and in turn were to arrest or kill al-Sadr, there could be a total meltdown in Iraq.

What's tragic, is much of what is going on in Iraq now was predicted prior to the invasion. Mubarak and other middle east leaders warned of the chaos we are now seeing, however, Bush chose not to listen.
