Thank you, George

Iain Macwhirter in The Herald:
First it was Osama Bin Laden; then it was Saddam Hussein; now we have a new sinister face on George W Bush's "wanted" list: Moqtada al Sadr, head of the al Mahdi militia. Another Iraqi public enemy No 1. Another turbaned image of Islamic terror to hunt down, dead or alive. Lock and load, people.
But hang on. Isn't this latest incarnation of Muslim evil a member of the Shi'ite religious denomination? Aren't they supposed to be the good guys? Weren't the Saddam-oppressed Shia majority in Iraq supposed to be strewing flowers at the feet of the American liberators?
