Facile analysts like Al-Ali think that Iraqis are incapable of governing themselves without a leader like Sadaam to keep them from hacking each other to pieces: "A DESPOT TO KEEP THEM IN LINE." The "corrosive influence" was the Baath reign of cruelty and terror (which preceded the US invasion), on the basis of "the most basic and primitive of prisms - which is to say, race and religion." Where is this guy from, Takrit?
