What is going on in Iraq is not impossible especially after the recent storm that was stirred about uprooting and excluding some political figures, parties and entities and denial of their participation in the political process and parliamentary elections on the grounds of being part of the dissolved Ba'ath Party, though that everyone, close  by and far apart, knows that Iraqis were joined into that party willy-nilly in agreement with the exceptional circumstances they had been through then, so the student had to join the party in order to continue his studies properly and completes his college education like his peers otherwise he would be fought and deprived from his school if he was independent or belonged to other parties, and for the employee, he used to suffer from many pressures if is not belonging to the party, and might be rejected by any department of the state especially the security ones, and this also applies to members of the military or police corps, and even some ordinary citizens who used to work in the private sector and were goaded to perform compulsory service during the Iraq-Iran war, had to join the party in order to serve their military term in safer places to escape that brutal war that devoured everything, or otherwise get organized in the said party thru the people's army which was founded at the time to support the armed forces during that war, and so even the ordinary farmer who owns a plot of land and wanted to cultivate, get the seeds or pesticides at a reasonable and a subsidized price could not escape and was forced to join the peasant associations which in turn organize them in the party, so is this an unforgivable sin committed by the Iraqi citizen? …. Or was it supposed for all citizens to quit altogether the country and emigrate to and seek asylum in other countries waiting  the change of regime in order to please the new politicians and be regarded as good citizens?...

If the fever of extermination has included patriotic people known to many circles in the Iraqi society undeniably witnessing  their struggle and long history, and have a gravity in he Iraqi street and a large popular base, though they were repulsed from taking part in the political process and elections on the grounds of having belonged to Ba'ath party, then it is really scaring that one day all Iraqis will have to be exterminated based on the saying: all good Iraqis are Baathists even though they did not belong thereto…
