De-Ba’athification, Italian-style

Some time in the past year or two, the New York Times had an article of
what happens when the forces of ‘democracy’ invade a country and oust
its dictator. (I think it was in "The News of the Week & Review".)
Basically the article said that 1/3 the time the country became more
democratic, 1/3 the time it remained about the same and 1/3 the time
things were worse.

Surmise how things are going in Iraq by reading this article:

"
Cold Hands" by John D’Ulisse.
