#3 gotta feel sympathy for certain variety of lefties, israel haters, neocon haters, etc.

US backs Israel, ergo US bad, eevil antimuslim.

Sunnis premier victims of US invasion of Iraq. Shiite attacks on Sunnis example of US -neo-con Chalabi consipiracy. Eevil Iraqi exiles who lied about WMD to get us to toss out Saddam for them.

Sadr anti-US, anti-occupation, backed by poor people, strongest "resistance" left.

Ergo Sadr must be a true nationalist, reaching out to Sunnis, etc.

But then mass graves are found confirming Sadrists mass murdered Sunnis. Sunni parties in Iraqi parliament support banning Sadr. The cognivtive dissonance has to be far greater than its been for years.
