Shimon Khamo: Allow Batthist Party to help Iraq heal
There has been no improvement in Iraq’s financial, security, services and humanitarian situation. This is due to the corruption government officials. Their goal is to manipulate the system in their favor, the militia is spread throughout the country. The poverty line is way below the standard. The unemployment rate is close to 40 percent, 3 million orphans and 2 million widows. In a country that is third in oil reserves.
Today’s government of Iraq is worse than ever. The fear is that Iraq might become a state of the mullahs of Iran! It’s very important to lift the de-Batthification policy that was imposed on Iraq in 2003.
If this situation continues? Soon Iraq will be bankrupt and more Iraqis will suffer and more officials will become billionaires!
Shimon Khamo, Modesto
