Of course you don't. Nobody reads my irrelevant blog, much less remembers it. Well, except for me, of course.
But I was looking back and saw this post, and I just had to revisit it. Long story short, around August of 2004, the criminally retarded Andre Vltchek felt the need to comment on then little known Moqtada al-Sadr. Vltchek felt that Sadr was brave, a hero, a defender of Iraq, and an honorable man.
It's funny to contrast that with the figure that events have since proven Sadr to be, namely the premiere sponsor of Shi'ite death squads in Iraq, one of the most dangerous, destabilizing forces there, and a man responsible for more misery and loss of life than any other in Iraq since the time of Andre's insightful writing.
I have to wonder if Andre regrets what he wrote, or even stops to consider how horribly, totally wrong he was. I wonder if he bothers to take note of the sorts of people his rabid anti-Bush, anti-America agenda drives him to side with. I'm going to guess the answer is “no,” and then raise that one “no, not at fucking all.” After all, when there's someone in the world as wrong as George W. Bush, nobody else can ever be wrong at the same time.
Ohhhh Andre. What a total retard you are. I hope you're sipping regionally flavored tea in Sri Lanka, or Katmandu, or whatever other place you think you need to go to live out your “cultured citizen of the world“ LARP.
