Saddam may be gone but many Iraqis still think as they were taught to think: the United States is our enemy and helping the us occupation is unpatriotic. These are mindsets that may be hard to change, even if Baathism as a political movement is banned. It could require a generational shift, in which case there is little now that the United States … or any Iraqi provisional governing council can do.
