I did. I can read the seams on a fastball. The author criticizes the free market and intimates that before sadaam was deposed the baathists shia and kurds were all sitting in a sewing circle bemoaning colonialism while knitting prints of karl marx.


It makes little if any refference to the actions of the baathist party under saddam that precipitated the gulf war, international sanctions, the invasion that ousted sadaam or their unilateraL hatred inside the country.
