About This Event
The Ba'ath Party and the intelligence instrument of the Ba'ath state, the Mukhabarat, have permeated every aspect of Iraqi life for decades. Like the Communist Party and the KGB in the former Soviet Union, the Ba'ath Party as currently constituted has a vested interest in the continuation of Saddam's Iraq. Removing Saddam Hussein and his henchmen will not be enough to repair decades of brutalizing Ba'athism. How can Iraqi reformers wrench the economy, the government, the educational system, and Iraq's civil society from the Ba'ath party's hands? Can parallels be drawn between post-Saddam Iraq and post-World War II Japan or Germany?
