And it Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

Iraq's elusive Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr has decided to drop out of politics for the time being because his disillusionment with the political scene in Iraq has left him sick and anxious, he said in an unusually personal letter to his followers released Friday.

The best news I've heard from Iraq in months (since October).

Come on Moqtada, you've been working too hard. You deserve a break. A nice longgg vacation.
