What constitutes "radical?" A dislike for American, indeed, any foreign troops in his country? Watching his country being destroyed by the U.S.? Seeing Maliki being put into place as the Bush puppet and given massive funds? It seems to me that Muktada al-Sadr is a fairly normal person with ideas of his own. I don't know if he is a Taliban type or a more moderate Muslim. I do not know anything about him, but have not seen anything "radical" about him. It also seems that many of the "grunt" Iraqis like him. Maybe that is the problem with the Bush-Maliki-MSM group.

Can you say 2009 war crime trials?
