But the fact that there is a split in the Iraqi Shia's and the more radical muslims are rising up against the Iraqi police and the coalition doesn't foreclose that AQ has been focused on Iraq and that is sparing attacks on US soil. I also would not be surprised to find out that Iran has something to do with this. Would you? Sadr has been know to visit Iran and be greeted with open arms.

Sadr wants to establish an Iranian-like theocracy in Iraq. This is the basis for the split in the Iraqi Shia community - the moderates are OK with a more secular government and the radicals want to turn Iraq into Iran.
