Yes, but a solid percentage of Iraq citizens listen and obey Sadr. After another day has gone by, and the entire region is facing rising conflict, we need some real leadership in the Mideast. I would hope Bush stops wasting time on his immigration sideshow and put everything he has into trying to solve the Mideast. It’s time to send in the Money, Guns and Lawyers for real, shake a big stick while really talking to everyone in the region, and send Condi to sit down with people like Sadr to at least access his sanity from a tableside seat. Maybe the head of the UN can join her, and the heads of Hamas and Fatah, the Lebanon crews, the Prime Minister of Israel, and the head of Syria, all sitting down together, locking the door, and solving the entire matter before countries like Turkey and others really start to play.
“Yes, but a solid percentage of Iraq citizens listen and obey Sadr.”
as do many other blind faithful. but it doesn’t legitimize leadership but ignorant foolishness. take him out. see who comes out instead.
