In a major change of strategy, the US is planning to offer government
jobs in Iraq to former senior officers of Saddam Hussein's military
and the ousted Baath Party.

In the 1920's a revolt instigated by Shia clerics against the British had a
significant and long lasting effect...



The British are well versed in this sort of thing, due to many many
conflicts, perhaps somebody should listen to them!, T.E.Lawrence's
'twelve pillars' is still relevent even today.
