Sadrist revolt provides lessons for counterinsurgency in Iraq

Article Abstract:

Moqtada al-Sadr's organization and its militia, the Mahdi Army, initiated demonstrations and attacks on Coalition forces and facilities in Baghdad's Sadr City and across southern Iraq. Under the combined influence of Coalition military action and mainstream Shi'ite political pressure, al-Sadr has dropped to a less confrontational stance, emphasizing political co-operation and a reduced military profile.
