		Saddam's intellectual master is Syrian Michel Aflak, a Greek Orthodox Christian professor who in 1940 co-founded the Ba'ath Party as a nationalist, socialist and pan-Arab party.
		Aflak thought that "an idea does not exist by itself: it is incarnated in the physical person who must be physically eliminated so the idea will also disappear".
		In this context, the American war plan might have been conceived by Aflak: to eliminate Saddam is to eliminate the Ba'ath system.

		Movements such as the Green Shirts of Young Egypt, or Antun Sa'ada's Parti Popular Syrien were determined to break with the dominant British and French imperialisms in the Middle East, and to embark on a statist project to promote capitalist industrialization.
		All these movements were resolutely secular in their ideology, often with Christians, like Sa'ada and Aflak, providing the leadership.
		The Arab nation, not the Muslim umma, provided the social base which these movements sought to mobilize in the interests of the statist-developmentalist model that they instantiated.

		There is a lot of affinity between the Arab nations; they haven't managed so far to unite into what the great pan-Arab thinkers, Satiel Husseri [ph] in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, and Michel Aflak, the founder of the Ba'ath party in the 1940's, '50s, '60s, '70s, wanted to happen.
		The ideology is a bizarre cocktail of Ba'ath historical ideology as created, so to say, by Michel Aflak and Salah al Din Bitar, those two great doyens of the Ba'ath party in the 1940's.
		And last but not least, this modernizing secular inclination--let us not forget the founding father of the party was a Christian Greek Orthodox Arab from Damascus, Michel Aflak.

		Both Ba'ath founder Michel Aflak and Hitler are known to have been students and admirers of the theory and mechanisms used by Ataturk.
		Hitler and Ataturk shared more closely ideas of forging the state through ethnic cleansing and pushing boundries out for "living space" while Mussolini was more of a traditional "empire" advocate.
		Aflak varied in this more considerably from the others, in modern terms less expansionist, but that is not to say any less brutal.
