BTW if you are remotely interested in the Shia of Iraq, I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Muqtada-Al-Sadr-Fall-Patrick-Cockburn/dp/0571239749
I’ve only just started it but so far it’s a blinder! I also recommend Cockburn’s journalims in the Independent, and his previous books on Iraq, especially “The Occupation”. He is one of the very best.
