<<However, Allawi said that he wanted these forces to stay in the country. In 2005, there will be many great political changes in Iraq. Our group may enter into politics. There may be someone other than Muqtada Al Sadr leading the party," Saybani told.>> Interesting.
But i sense they will need kill Sadr first.
I feel they have wanted to kill Sadr, and could have near anytime.
Shi'ites, they are martyr's religion like none other in Islam.
Sadr being the son of the Grand Ayatollah Sadr has been a magnet around Sadr.
I have said to understand Muqtada Sadr you need grasp the Sadr name is bigger among the Shi'ites then Kennedy among Massachusettians(wow, a new word!:)
The fear of what a dead Muqtada al Sadr may mean is, for now, keeping him alive, imo.
Whenever he gives a formal speech he wears his funeral wrappings.
A visual message all Shi'ites know and respect.
Sadr is saying with this, "I am now ready to die, to be Martyred"
i have no doubt of Sadr's sincerity on this, but he also knows he is setting up, in the case of his being killed; a movement that will live after him.
i guess my best call(hooway for me:) was to in about May 2003 say, no one knows Sadr now, but in time his name will be known world wide.
It all was launched in me by coming across a two page interview with Sadr and i felt both a charismatic and an extremely sharp mind; razor sharp.
So now Sistani is in London--hmmmm.
This is getting into a Great Wallenda high-wire tension with Sadr crossing on thin wire an abyss, and the might of the U.S. military moving along behind him.
stay tuned.
