Surely no one believes Sadr is out to sing Kumbaya!?
He’s setting up a brand new Hezbollah for Iraq, funded trained & fuly supported by Iran. This is the Hamas & Hezbollah model, radical anti west Islamist organizations which cloak & cover themselves in ‘social’ & ‘political’ causes to appeal to suckers in the west. So far because of the West’s idiocy and naivete this has worked out fantastic for Iran, they now have not one but two full Islamic mini states in Gaza & Lebanon. Why tinker with what works.. They have at least another 6 months or so to milk the queen of suckers Dr. Rice before an even bigger apologist hits the scence.
