Little Tidbits

Trolling on the net brings surprising information. In a piece (Monday, 19 December) about the nasty current prime minister of Iraq who,
tripled the price of gasoline and made substantial increases in the price of gas and heating oil, in contravention of its campaign promises.
Juan Cole has this to say:
It is the sort of policy that would have been pushed by the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq's Adil Abdul Mahdi, a former Marxist who has become a free marketeer, and who is a leading candidate for prime minister. (emphasis added)
Whooops! I thought once a Marxist always a Marxist. How can you change? Its like Catholicism. How interesting. George Bush invades Iraq and we get a Marxist government.
