Exactly what it says on the tin. This guy was the last non-Ba'ath figure to rule Iraq and he by some evidence was not entirely unskilled as a politician as far as dictators go. Would he, if he had lasted longer in a position of power, have been much of an improvement over the Ba'ath Party's brand of leadership? How would an Iraq led by a non-Ba'ath dictatorship have developed? Or would he have later been purged by Saddam just like Bakr was?
