The key to the question of "what happens if we take out Sadr?" is how Sistani would react.

He'll throw a party! In a the last year or two, Sadr assassinated two of Sistani's top aides. See #63

That's the depth of thinking that got us where we are today.

If Sistani wanted Sadr gone, he wouldn't even have to say it. A hint would do.
