Jamal Jafaar Mohammed is not an MP who "could be" convicted, he HAS BEEN convicted and is still under a Kuwaiti death sentence.

As to the rest, they are convicted by their own claims of responsibility for Anti-American Terror:

In another development today, Al Dawa, a clandestine Iraqi fundamentalist Moslem organization, claimed responsibility for yesterday's grenade attack on the British Embassy here in which three gunmen reportedly were killed. An Al Dawa spokesman told Agence France-Presse by phone that the attack was a "punitive operation against a center of British and American plotters." ~~ Large Turnout Reported For 1st Iraqi Vote Since '58 The Washington Post, June 21, 1980

Their own words condemn the Radical Terrorist Al Dawa Party, the Ruling Party of Iraq.

You said "dominated by". After all, the US Congress has Ron Paul, but the Congress is not dominated by the likes of him.

Oh and you quote a 27-year old article to make what point, exactly? I'm not up on my Arabic, but my guess is that "Al Dawa" is a pretty common term. My research indicates it means "an invitation," although the underlying connotation is possibly different.

I see.

So your argument is that Jamal Jafaar Mohammed dominates the Iraqi government.

How so? I was unaware that a single MP holds power over the entire Iraqi government - when was that change in the Iraqi constitution made?

After all, his party received less than 4% of the vote - doesn't it usually take a majority to dominate a parliamentary government?
