Thanks for posting this. I have seen almost nothing about the ideology of his regime. It's like not discussing Nazi philosophy in a biography of Hitler.
I bet not one American in a thousand could tell you anything about the ideology of the Baath party.
Sometimes when you read Saddam talking about the revolution you think you are reading Darth Vader talking about the dark side of The Force. The revolution is everywhere. The revolution is all seeing and never-ending. The revolution is God and salvation. And somehow Saddam himself is merged with the revolution.
One feature of the revolution that Aflaq articulated and Saddam absorbed is that it erases and supersedes all objective values. Since the revolution is permanent and relentless, standards of judgment must be flexible so as to be adapted to the latest demands of the revolution. Even facts must give way to the needs of the revolution.
Ed. Sounds a bit like "My Struggle", does it not?
