From what I hear, the policies of removing Baath party members were pretty harsh. Former members were kicked out of jobs and schools, they basically couldn't do anything.

These policies probably made them pretty desperate to do things, like you know, putting food on the table and whatnot.

1. 70% unemployment combined with the importation of guest workers

certainly did. The administration couldn't have fucked this thing up worse if that had been their stated aim from the beginning.

Another stoopid policy from the Stoop Inc, admin.

3. Does the Pope

wear a funny hat?
