American forces . . . came . . . to prevent and confront the emergence of the awaited Mahdi who will appear in Iraq

Nice to know that their Mahdi is enough of a pushover that the U.S. military can prevent his emergence.

I figured Sadr was just a thug riding on the coattails of his esteemed father.

Now I know he's a psycho. too.

We got rid of a potential Mahdi/Third Antichrist... Saddam. Thank god for Israel bombing Osiraq and the First Gulf war. Things would be much different if these events did not happen, and there would be a nuclear armed Hussein running the Middle east.
