Moqtada Sadr has lots of chops, not only because of the influence his father had but because he apparently inherited his father's leadership qualities. He's extra dangerous for being so young, so bold and so powerful all at the same time.

There's plenty of other mullahs in Iraq--and elsewhere in the Middle East--who are just as dangerous as Sadr, if not moreso. Every one of them wants nothing more than to shed the blood of Westerners.

Not a pleasant prospect for our young men and women in uniform who got shanghaied into this fiasco.
