I imagine the average Iraqi thinks of Moqtada al-Sadr "he may be a son of a bitch but at least he's *our* son of a bitch."
It is a pity that people like Moqtada al-Sadr end up leading the resistance to the foreign invaders in Iraq but if any fool thinks making him a martyr is a good idea he would have to be as stupid as....well lets think of an example of a really really stupid politician shall we :)
Incidentally who was it that kept telling the Shias to rise up in Iraq prior to and during the invasion? The Americans and the British...well the message has gotten through obviously.
