The title would be “The Hero” and it is a Dramedy about Ahmed Chalabi cheering the Bush administration from the sidelines early on and eventually working with the Neocons to do regime change in Iraq, and having to come to terms with the fact that he got in over his head and is working with various people that are some combination of evil and idiots.
Or, among somewhat similar lines “The Believer” and it is a White American that converts to Islam and joins the Mujahedin at the very beginning of the Soviet-Afghan War and then “Forrest Gumps” his way through all of the events of “Muslim Extremism” from then until he dies in the Navy Seal raid that kills Bin Laden in Pakistan.
Sorry, I listened to the Remember Shuffle episode today on the Iraq War and followed it up with several Blowback episodes, so this is what is currently on my mind.
