The Baghdad Blogger goes to Washington

The Baghdad Blogger goes to Washington Salam Pax on vacation. “When we were talking about the popularity of the clerical militia chief Moqtada al-Sadr I was asked how anyone could be fooled by someone who so obviously used religion to boost his own popularity and went for the lowest common denominator for popular appeal? I was saved by another guest who asked if we were talking about Bush or Sadr here.”
