Iraq..The Drama Continues.

After Saadam Hussein's death, his legacy still seems ever so present in Iraq. As the country prepares for parliament elections, it appears that many contestants are former members of his Baathist party. This has sparked protests in the streets with people carrying pictures of family members and loved ones who have died under Saadam Hussein's power. The Baath party was opposed to the Shia religious group and Kurdish ethnic group. In the current democracy, changes have been made to include the two groups. The person in charge of taking former Baath party members out of politics is....Ahmed Chalabi (aww mannn!!! really???...yes). In any case, there are individuals who disagree with this action saying that it is too extreme and are in fear of political reprisals. Such individuals have also stated that it wasjust a motive to keep Sunni Iraqis out of power (Baathists were mostly Sunni).
