This is definitely a topic that we could continue on about for quite some time, but rather than do that (since I agree with pretty much everything you said) I will just say thanks for the great comment!

That said, I find the similies he's cited to be quite interesting. I've often viewed Iraq as a nation that's being asked to advance about 1000 years in social evolution within the space of a week. Naturally, this kind of radical change in thinking and politicking doesn't happen overnight. Is Iraq on the right track? I think that, in time, it will start to take a solid shape. That said, so long as a weak government is at the helm, there will be no real change from what we see now. The supposed leaders of the nation need to do just that: lead. Until they can start seeing the desert for the sand, they'll never really accomplish anything of value. That said, Sadr and others like him are certainly doing their part to live up to their political ambitions while also restoring some sense of stability in their own little areas. That said, one person's stability is another person's anarchy. Hopefully the people of Iraq will come together, one way or another, to solve their problems and get back to being in control of their own destiny, regardless of what that is. I doubt it will happen so long as there are so many international interlopers, though :???: Scott’s insights into politics and the way things work are often right in line with how I view the world.
