Comments on: Multi-disciplinary panel on Iraq agrees no easy way out http://www.thegriffonnews.com/2007/03/02/multi-disciplinary-panel-on-iraq-agrees-no-easy-way-out/ All the Missouri Western State University news that is fit to print Sat, 22 Nov 2008 11:37:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Phil Mullins http://www.thegriffonnews.com/2007/03/02/multi-disciplinary-panel-on-iraq-agrees-no-easy-way-out/#comment-305 Phil Mullins Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:54:22 +0000 http://www.thegriffonnews.com/2007/03/02/multi-disciplinary-panel-on-iraq-agrees-no-easy-way-out/#comment-305 Two corrections: The podcast whose link is on my home page is a mid February NPR series on the War in Iraq and its religious dynamics. I recommended it as a thoughtful analysis much of whose perspective I included in my comments. I did not say “Clerics should have a lot to say (about government)" but I did say "Clerics (in Iran and Iraq) do have a lot to say (about government)" I traced this development in Middle Easter Shiite politics back to the Iranian Revolution in 1979 but pointed out that some important contemporary clerics in Iraq disputed the view that clerics should be in control.
