Iraq to name 43 ambassadors<\/a><\/p>\n

Want to know who they are?<\/p>\n

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<\/a> to the capitals of the world. (Arabic text)<\/p>\n

Examples:
\n1. Faris al-Yawar (don’t confuse him with Ghazi al-Yawar; he just happened to be his brother)
\n2. Ali Allawi (don’t confuse him with Ayad Allawi; he just happened to be his cousin)
\n3. Baha’ Shibib (don’t confuse him with the thug, Talib Shibib, he just happened to be his brother)
\n4. Samir al-Sumayda’i (it is OK to confuse him with Bremer’s boot-shiner; he is the same guy)<\/p>\n

others might not be very familiar to you, but their names reveal some sad history and bring Iraqis many bad memories.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
