“First of all, I don’t know of any liberals or lefties who brandish the name of Muqtada al-Sadr. This isn’t 1968, he isn’t Ho Chi Minh, his ragtag militia isn’t hailed as a liberation front, and nobody–including me–knows how to pronounce al-Sadr’s first name without hurting our teeth. The man simply doesn’t come up in cocktail party conversation when we nihilists get together to drink blood.”
