In Iraq, we must help Good Mahdr against Bad Mahdr
Mahdi heads the Badr militia while Sadr is the head of the Mahdi militia. Sounds like a scene from Airplane or Spies Like Us:
“Mahdi, Badr.”
“Sadr, Mahdi.”
I’m looking forward to President George W. Bush explaining why we should side with one against the other:
“We must help Mahdi maul the Mahdi, or else Sadr could savage the Badr, leaving Mahdi deposed and his Shiite supporters defensless to Sadr’s shiite Mahdi marauders.”
Perhaps we could just call them all Mahdr. Good Mahdr and Bad Mahdr. That way they can swap sides seamlessly, so that Good Mahdr becomes Bad Mahdr when they or we feel like it.
