Saddam's Ex-Pat People

George W. Bush destroyed their lives.
They escaped the country they loved; and now they are back.
Their country is not back.
So they have decided to 1) get even, and 2) get a country.
What can we do to stop the bloodletting that we didn't do by ending the Iraq war?
Perhaps we should convince the Baathe party members of Iraq to re-instate themselves in the
Iraqi government which does exist right now, notwithstanding how much they resent it.
They could be the only path to a centrally-located secular government in the Mid-East.
If we had that in Iraq, we could inch our way to diplomatic relations with both Iraq and Iran.
In that way, absent some very backward Reagan Iran-Contra mess, other smaller countries there
won't experience such extreme blow back from some of the more fundamentalist Muslim countries
and population groups.
