"He didn't quite win, however. A win would have been the rallying of the Shii population in an effort to unseat the sitting government and move for a Khomeni style take over."

Actually sistani wins and he has a far more moderate agenda and a more realistic view of a multi-ethnic iraq. What al sadr does not realize or perhaps accept is that the demographic makeup of iraq is a bit different from shiaa iran where khomeni could come to power. There will be no shiaocracy over iraq unless all the kurds and sunni are crushed. Mike
