Iraq and al Sadr

So al Sadr, the radical Islamic cleric in Iraq has threatened to "declare" a war on the United States and Iraq if they do not stop the offensive against his people.

First off - there has been a war going on in Iraq for Five years, where has al Sadr been?

The United States has been fighting factions of al Sadr's Madi Army since the cleric rose to power in Iraq. If he wants his people to stop being targeted by US and Iraqi forces, they should stop the rhetoric, terrorism, and insurgency they are using to continue to strike fear in the hearts of Iraqis.
