Want to know who they are?
If you know a brother, a nephew, a boot-shiner of anyone in the government of Allawi, or even someone who has a similar relation to the big names of the 1970’s Ba’athis criminals, please tell them to look up their names on the list of the new Iraqi ambassadors to the capitals of the world. (Arabic text)
Examples:
1. Faris al-Yawar (don’t confuse him with Ghazi al-Yawar; he just happened to be his brother)
2. Ali Allawi (don’t confuse him with Ayad Allawi; he just happened to be his cousin)
3. Baha’ Shibib (don’t confuse him with the thug, Talib Shibib, he just happened to be his brother)
4. Samir al-Sumayda’i (it is OK to confuse him with Bremer’s boot-shiner; he is the same guy)others might not be very familiar to you, but their names reveal some sad history and bring Iraqis many bad memories.
