I knew little to nothing about Iraq; after some research, my 
knowledge has advanced from 0.001 to 0.002 on the scale of 100, with 
60 as the passing grade.  The same must go for nearly all leftists in 
cyberspace.  When I sent out a query about the Ba'ath Party, etc., 
the only leftist who sent me concrete information that is not 
available in the mainstream press and left-wing outputs was Michael 
Hoover, which I posted here and to marxmail: 
<http://squawk.ca/lbo-talk/0304/1433.html>.

Since neither the mainstream press nor leftists have told ordinary 
Americans anything in Iraq that is worth defending, it is no wonder 
that they know nothing about it either.
