5. It doesn't seem to be very powerful.

This is probably just to shut the Sunni's up.

6. Allawi is a Shiite who has little following

This won't do anything to placate anybody.

7. Allawi is a Baathist

and as such, is more acceptable to many Sunnis.

You seriously think I don't know that Allawi is a Shiite?
