 | | Mahdi came of age in the 1950s, just as the Arab world was being fired up by the issues of pan-Arabism, the Palestinian cause, the Suez crisis and -- in Syria and Iraq -- a socialist nationalism called Baathism. | | | Mahdi left to study in France in 1969, in part, he said, because of the activities of a growing wing of the Baath Party that included Hussein. | | | Some friends viewed Mahdi's flexibility as political expediency when he joined the Islamic parties that were starting to gain underground support in Iraq in the 1970s. |
