I agree. I detest al-Sadr and he can't expire soon enough for me.
Mookie lead many of his followers to their death in the Najaf uprisings.
They negotiated out after a thorough ass kicking and left behind in the holy city of Najaf slaughtered people caught in their path in that holy shrine.
The idea that he would allow another one to be destroyed to further his power is not out of the realm of possibility.
Mookie should have been finished off in Najaf.
