Last week, al-Sadr promised a million Shiite march for today’s anniversary of the statue being pulled down. Today, that’s been cancelled, because Sadr is concerned about the shedding of Iraqi blood. He always is, when there’s any chance it might be his own. Two days ago, al-Sadr was offering to stand down, if al-Sistani and other […]
