    -"de-baathification" talked about on msnbc

    -green zone established around the presidential palace

    -national security state aligning against a 'despotic ruler'

    damn I wish I knew what else happened to Iraq in the 2000's but my understanding of history ends just as America defeats racism by swearing in barack obama as president

      Umm actually history ended in like 1992 dude. Everything that happens now is just the illusion of history projected by the 24 hour news cycle.
