“I announce my noninterference in politics, and from now there is no bloc that represent us and no position inside or outside movement or parliament.”Not that Iraq is in the crosshairs of the Judeo-Christian West
Al-Sadr's like the Gandhi of Iraq, vilified by the colonial power(s) that decimated his country and left it in ruins. Unknown, except as a cartoon drawn by lying bigots, to lots of those who think they know what's happening there, or what happened.
His personal history is heart-breaking, and his strength in the face of that heartbreak exemplary.
