"Go away from here, we have women and children," said one of the locals. "If you want to fight them, go fight them in your neighbourhood, don't fight in our city." We need more regular Iraqis doing this all over the country!

150 Iraqis show support for Al-Sadr
The majority do not want to be photographed - they know that the photos are being used to identify insurgents (e.g., Iranians, Syrians, Palestinians, etc.)

Sistani has preached separation of religion and politics. How do you see him balancing that philosophy with a position in the Iraqi government?
Being the Official Grand Ayatollah for all of Iraq?

Separation of religion and politics in an Islamic sense is much different than in an American sense. Basically, it just means you have 2 heads of state: one secular and one Muslem. The secular law supports all principles in the Islamic law. Religious problems are handled by the religious leader and secular problems are handled by the secular leader. This is the traditional Arabian model.

Al Sadr DOES have MASSIVE support (among US and European lefties).
