    Are you saying that the Ba'ath party was supportive of the Iraqi
Communist
    Party, and that hundreds were not executed in the CIA-assisted coup in
    1963?  And are the Eastern European leaders Bush is so eagerly bribing
into
    supporting his aggression in Iraq not former members of the late
degenerate
    Soviet system?  Or are they not hacks but instead noble Marxists
adhering
    to principle, and a US alliance with such men would be something
desirable
    in your view?  Well, we've got the alliance, but is it desirable.
Sorry, but I
   don't quite catch why you thought the article "ridiculous."  -A.
