oh pleeez...you spend a few months in Iraq and think you know Shia theology...yes I know who Mahdi is what Sadr preaches. But the Shia have had these beliefs for 1000 years. And the only times they created such armies was when a mess like current day Iraq was made for them. You can try to spin this all you want, but history does not support you. [edit: what Sadr preaches is mostly part and parcel of Shia theology from Sistani down...but you don't see 99.9999% of Shia practicing these aspects of theology unless you make the mess you have made in Iraq]
