The many Moqtada al-Sadrs 


According to the New York Times -- at least as it is published in the imagination of Mark Steyn -- we can consider the waxing and waning of Moqtada al-Sadr's fortunes from many difference perspectives:

The Times gets it:
Sadr running around Baghdad: Iraq in bloody sectarian civil war.

Sadr fled to Tehran: Dangerous power vacuum in Iraq.

Sadr lying in a big hole in the ground underneath US ordnance dropped from a great height: Beloved martyr whose death will be a recruiting tool across the Muslim world.

Sadr polling a strong third among GOP primary voters in New Hampshire: He’s a popular centristinsurgent who represents many moderate Republicans’ wish to move beyond the partisan bitterness of the Bush years.

Sadr discovered to be the cause of climate change: Rumsfeld sold him a second-hand Cadillac Escalade in the Eighties.
