But culturally and politically it is extremely islamo-arab nationalist. As I said, your ignorance makes you unqualified to discuss the problem of Saddam further.

What's a source for that?

No it isn't. The Ba'ath party is Arab Nationalist. Pious Islam is the enemy of Arab Nationalism. Look at Iraq. The Sunni Muslims are the secular majority, whereas the Shi'ites, our allies and Saddam's sworn enemies, are fundamentalist loonies of the Ayatollah Khomenei variety. The Middle East is not a monolothic entity.
I haven't followed this thread and I don't know what's going on, but just wanted to clear that up...
Nah.
"Islamo-Arab Nationalist" is like National-Socialism. It's two opposites, as Andy Card pointed out. It seems as if you made the term up out of the clear blue.
