He is a master who wants reform and has fought the occupied America

The U.S. invaded Iraq caused so much pain and saddness. Triggering an influx of events that continued even after they left. Even after the U.S. left they let the country fluster on its own, not doing anything to fix the damage they caused. Someone had to step up to the plate and clean up their mess.

[@HappyButtHole]

That's completely false, the U.S.A army didn't attack sadderist militants without a reason In 2009, The president Nor Al-Maliki assigned agreement With the US Force. To Install a governor, which Is the al mahdi militant weren't happy for it which is leads to a conflict between The US army + The government police Against The sadderist. There's no Invasions accurred.

​@@HappyButtHoleAmerica is an occupying state, so Muqtada al-Sadr and his fans rejected the occupation and stood up to those who were hostile to it, even killing as many of the occupying Americans as were killed.

[@qasimkareem9341]
