I watched excerpts of the Friday sermon by Muqtada As-Sadr on Al-Manar TV (the TV of Hizbullah). There was a very marked shift in the discourse of As-Sadr. He spoke very very reverentially of Hasan Nasrallah (the Secretary-General of Hizbullah (Party of God), and declared that he will turn his force into "a strike" force in the service of Nasrallah and Hamas, when the time comes. I have heard that Nasrallah is reveared among Iraqi Shi`ites. I have interviewed Nasrallah twice before, and will interview him again this June, and will ask him about his analysis of the Iraq scene. Stay tuned.
