Reply #31: You should tell that to the Shia then, that it's "patently absurd"

Go to google and put in "Allawi worse than Saddam"

And google research on Allawi.

A terrorist car-bomber; just what the Iraqis need.

In Iraq, he is widely referred to as "Saddam without the mustache."

Born Under a Cloud of Irony

The new, free Iraq may officially be in the hands of a former terrorist.

When Allawi was first picked for the prime minister post through an opaque selection process ostensibly run by a U.N. representative, former CIA Iran-Iraq analyst Kenneth Pollack justified the agency's earlier use of Allawi as a terrorist with the comment "send a thief to catch a thief.' But the question now is: Do you send a thief to build a democracy?

Allawi, former Baathist, former agent for MI6 and CIA, former terrorist. This is an improvement?
