	Reports: Political
		In Iraq, however, a country which has challenged and continues to challenge our vital interests in the region, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to ourselves to take a strong stand against the political intolerance which infects the region, and which has had such devastating consequences here.
		I submit that it is. Since the coup d'etat of 1958 in which Iraq's nascent political institutions were utterly destroyed to be replaced by the rule of a single man, Iraq has been subjected to the full spectrum of tyranny, from the leftists/communists of 1958-1963 to the fascism of Saddam Hussein.
		Indeed, Iraq's opposition groups have recognized this truth; across the political spectrum, from the Iraqi Communist Party to the Islamists, Iraq's opposition groups have committed themselves to a democratic Iraq after the fall of Saddam and his thugs.

		Iraq is an artificial state held together by a political culture of force.
		Because Iraq's political and economic systems are winner-take-all -- with the ruler controlling the massive flow of oil wealth -- that oppression has been all too feasible for a succession of Iraqi strongmen.
		Iraq, on the other hand, was left with a dangerous combination: a huge military -- financed by foreign nations -- and a huge debt, owed primarily to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

		During the Iraq invasion, I had a little conspiracy theory which was probably wrong, because I am giving more credit to the CIA with it than is probably due, but I will share it with you as it gets into this realm.
		If this is true, it has extremely bad implications for the liklihood that Iraq can achieve the coalition of all parties as will be necessary to provide a foundation for a stable government; and it would also suggest that the Saudis might be promoting terrorist activities directed against the US.
