Al-Sadr is proving to be a politician that seems to be winning some trust among the Sunni community. He may be the last best chance of achieving a unified Iraq in which Shiite, Sunni, and Kurds tolerate one another. If he became the leader of Iraq, he would have the power to punish those who refuse to live in tolerance.
He might become a strong enough leader with authority over, and support from, the masses, so the US could negotiate a surrender or peace within the region. Having Al-Sadr lead Iraq is better than death, destruction, and ciaos which is extremely contagious and could spread beyond the borders of Iraq to a much wider region of the ME. Right now there is no authority, or leadership figure, within Iraq with support from the majority of the Iraqi people with which the US can do business or contract. Al-Sadr on the other hand might be strong enough to control the country and enforce settlement reached in negotiations or other business contracts. Hey, it beats civil war and ciaos. Besides, at the end of the day, we may be stuck with Al-Sadr, whether we back him or not. It would be better for the US to have Al-Sadr as an ally, than as a foe, and surely we can find common ground with Al-Sadr as a basis for doing business.
