#1  you gotta love this line:

"Capitalizing on frustration among Iraqis over insecurity and poverty since the US-led invasion, Sadr won followers by supplying health care and other services"

I suppose one needs to "supply health care" when your "other services" include providing children and misfits RPG's. I guess that explains why they keep taking over the hospitals. Makes for a nice one stop shop, you can get shot and treated all in the same location.
