#im neither shi'a nor iraqi so

[zvaigzdelasas]

So is Sadr cool or anti-imperialist or what? Should we be rooting for him?

If you live in the US or Europe your only position about Iraqi politics should be to remove your troops & cut off any covert/overt support to any factions in the country & region as a whole. You should be informed, but to be "rooting" for anyone specific isn't our job here.
