Believe is theirs out of the country without baghdad getting the cut and holding the purse strings. so they see that as an intrusion. and the third thing is political. the baathist party which was outlawed after saddam fell is still very much alive in the subculture. that s where the sunni have their political base. so you have all of these iranian puppet parties that stood up after the fall of saddam. so you have the perfect trifecta of disaffection. it s religious. it s political. it s economic. speaking of political, would it help or hurt for al malaki to step down? oh, it would be very beneficial. in fact, that s one of the three sunni demands. they want compensation from the government. they want malaki to step down. and they want some autonomy, i.e., federalism. they want a federal republic, not this tightly controlled government from baghdad because ....

Regime in 1970 and 1971. i qualified as a doctor, and i had to leave because there was real disagreement with the leadership in the party with saddam hussein. i went to lebanon, then went to london to do my postgr-graduate studies. and i left the baath party, and i was trying to form a clandestine opposition group from within the establishment in iraq. this did not appeal, of course, to saddam hussein, so he sent me people to try and assassinate me in london, and on a very cold night in february, 1978. i woke up suddenly, accidentally, to see a shadow by the bed, and then i saw a ....
