To have a constitutional government elected by the people. But the USA led force do not enjoy the trust of the people. Hence, anything done at the behest of the combined force will be lacking legitimacy. It is under UN supervision that an interim government be constituted to hold election for constituent body to frame the future constitution for Iraq. Then only normalcy will come back.

Oh Well, this is a tough one. \n\nAlthough I would like to believe that the current Iraqi situation could sustain itself, I must be realistic in my assesment of the situation. I believe that Iraq will fall apart due to the collapse and absence of a powerful cental government. Saddam was tough, but he held the country together. I think we're gonna end up having to deal with THREE NEW Iraqi states (Northern Kurds, Central Sunnis and Southern Shiites) and I just don't like the sound of that, why deal with three when we there was only one?\n\nBesides, the Shiites in the South will most likely control the larger sum of Iraq's Oil cause that's where it's concentrated. \n\nI still believe, contrary to popular belief, that Saddam could have been dealt with differently, either through micro surgery, or through hard-core diplomacy until he crumbled on his own, this all out invasion is just costing us ridiculous ammounts of money and rubbing our global reputation in the dirt. \n\nThe world is changing, we're loosing favour with hundreds of millions of people, and I just don't want that for my country, a country that I love.

In as much as the incumbent President (Olusegun Obasanjo) would want to be, the "Political Clouds" is still unclear as to whom the next President would be.\nThe present constitution does not allow the incumbent to run for a third term.\nThe present Vice-president Atiku Abubakar is interested in the position, another former president(Ibrahim Babangida)is also warming up.A present south-eastern governor(Orji Uzor Kalu)& Pastor Chris Okotie are some other contenders.\nWithin the next few months the Political cloud would be clear.

Yes,just like in the first war with Iraq.The right General is also needed.The General in the first war was one of the  best I have seen.They should have followed his recommnendations.This is only for strategies and winning a war.The President is still the Chief Commander.\nOk. I do not remember how to spell his name.

Just the one; the Palestinian National Authority\n\nThe authority has two components; the president and the legislative council (headed by the Prime Minister)\n\nThe president is a member of Fatah, a political organisation that in turn is part of the PLO which for many years sought the liberation of Palestine. The PLO renounced terrorism and recognised the state of Israel a while back.\n\nThe council has a majority of members who belong to Hamas; Hamas seeks to create an Islamic republic in Palestine and is a prescribed terrorist organisation.\n\nThe Authority was created as part of the Oslo agreement which included renunciation of terrorism and the right for Israel to exist. Acceptance of the Oslo agreement would seem neccessary in accepting the legality of the Authority. Unfortunately, Hamas has got elected without taking these steps, thus creating an impasse\n\nGenerally, the legality of political parties is a process/hurdle as part of the democratic process; this appears to have been overlooked by the authors of the Oslo Peace accord

A year after Saddam had joined the Ba'ath party, army officers led by General Abdul Karim Qassim overthrew Faisal II of Iraq. The Ba'athists opposed the new government, and in 1959, Saddam was involved in the attempted US backed plot to assassinate Prime Minister Qassim. He was sentenced to death, in absentia. Saddam studied law at the Cairo University during his exile.\n\nTorn by factionalism, however, the new government was ousted within eight months. Saddam returned to Iraq, but was imprisoned in 1964 when an anti-Ba'ath group led by Abdul Rahman Arif took power. He escaped prison in 1967 and quickly came to be a leading member of the party. According to biographers, Saddam never forgot the tensions within the first Ba'athist government, which informed his measures to promote party unity as well as his ruthless resolve to maintain power and programs to ensure social stability.\n\nIn July 1968 a second coup brought the Ba'athists back to power under General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, a Tikriti and a relative of Saddam, who by this time had become an interrogator and torturer at the infamous "Palace of the End," the cellar of the former palace of King Faisal II. The Ba'ath's ruling clique named Saddam vice-chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council and vice president of Iraq.\n[edit]\n\nConsolidation of power\nSaddam Hussein talking with Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr\nEnlarge\nSaddam Hussein talking with Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr\n\nIn 1976, Saddam rose to the position of general in the Iraqi armed forces. He rapidly became the strongman of the government. At the time Saddam was considered an enemy of communism and radical Islamism. Saddam was integral to U.S. policy in the region, a policy which sought to weaken the influence of Iran and the Soviet Union. As Iraq's weak and elderly President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr became increasingly unable to execute his duties, Saddam took on an increasingly prominent role as the face of the government both internally and externally. He soon became the architect of Iraq's foreign policy and represented the nation in all diplomatic situations. He was the de facto ruler of Iraq some years before he formally came to power in 1979. He slowly began to consolidate his power over Iraq's government and the Ba'ath party. Relationships with fellow party members were carefully cultivated, and Saddam soon gained a powerful circle of support within the party.\n[edit]\n\nModernization\n\nSaddam consolidated power in a nation riddled with profound tensions. Long before Saddam, Iraq had been split along social, ethnic, religious, and economic fault lines: Sunni versus Shi'ite, Arab versus Kurd, tribal chief versus urban merchant, nomad versus peasant. Stable rule in a country rife with factionalism required the improvement of living standards. Saddam moved up the ranks in the new government by aiding attempts to strengthen and unify the Ba'ath party and taking a leading role in addressing the country's major domestic problems and expanding the party's following.\n\nSaddam actively fostered the modernization of the Iraqi economy along with the creation of a strong security apparatus to prevent coups within the power structure and insurrections apart from it. Ever concerned with broadening his base of support among the diverse elements of Iraqi society and mobilizing mass support, he closely followed the administration of state welfare and development programs.\n\nAt the center of this strategy was Iraq's oil. On June 1, 1972, Saddam Hussein oversaw the seizure of international oil interests, which, at the time, had a monopoly on the country's oil. A year later, world oil prices rose dramatically as a result of the 1973 world oil shock, and skyrocketing revenues enabled Saddam to expand his agenda.\n\nWithin just a few years, Iraq was providing social services that were unprecedented among Middle Eastern countries. Saddam established and cont
