Re: Sadr
[ QUOTE ]
After the US eventually leaves, Iraq will most likely be dominated by Shiites with Sadr at the top of the list to become President. I think he'll be a decent ally in the War on Terror because the Al-Qaeda types have allied themselves with the Sunni insurgents that Sadr is currently fighting.

With all due resperct, do you not think that Shi'ite firebrand fundamentalists also support terror? It's not only the Sunni version that does. Look at Iran, Iran supports lots of terror against Israel, and supports terror and insurgency in Iraq. No way would Muqtada al-Sadr be a good ally in the war against terror; he supports the very things that the jihadists are fighting for.
If you want Shari'a: if you want for women to be legally inferior to men, and for Muslims to have superior legal rights to non-Muslims, and for homosexuals to be persecuted under the law, and for the death penaty to be applied for adultery: then cast your vote for Muqtada al-Sadr! He's your man!
No offense, Mr. Iron81, but I think your view on such matters is uninformed or naive. Firebrand fundamentalist Islamists, whether they be Sunni or Shi'ite, are not about to become good buddies or dependable allies with The Great Satan (the USA). No-way-in-hell.
