Oh, and golly gee: I seem to recall the folks in Neocon World are agin Shia theocracies and enforced wearing of headscarves. But Saddam’s overthrow was the one way of almost guaranteeing both those outcomes (something Bush Sr. was smart enough to understand; I think the best part of Junior ran down his leg). And it doesn’t help that the U.S. and its puppet government are actively suppressing the one movement that’s both genuinely democratic *and* secular–that same IFC.

Kevin: Yes to all of the above. As for Ledeen, he lives in Neocon World, where reality is whatever it must be to keep the United States at Perpetual War.

Uh, what planet is Ledeen living on?

Didn’t the CPA leave in place all of Saddam’s draconian anti-labor regulations when it took over state industry? Hasn’t the Iraqi puppet regime repeatedly ransacked the headquarters of the Iraqi labor federation, and seized its assets? Hasn’t it given similar treatment to the Iraqi Freedom Congress, which includes the organized labor movement as one of its components?

Was it Michael Ledeen that said he still idolized Trotsky? Or was that Schwartz?

Ledeen is severely disconnected from reality, even his own prior actions are warped through his delusions.
