Hey Carrol, I'm disappointed in you. Isn't a "qualified defence" for Sadr also an example of the sandbox politics that you profess to deplore? After all, we can't have any effect on Iran and Iraq anyway.
Perhaps you could compile a manual of some sort to help me differentiate between when something qualifies as "sandbox politics" and when something does not:
