I believe it was the democrats. <g> No seriously, does it matter?

The problem exists now. Deal with it now because the blood of innocents are at stake. Do not waste time gazing at the past as the lifes of hundreds of thousands hangs in the balance here.

Btw, you need to retract your insensitive remark on the kurds, just because the Kurds wear different headgear does not give you the right to call them names.

any idea who put the Baath Party in power in Iraq?

Saddam Hussein

1967 - Hussein escapes from prison and takes charge of Baath security. Meanwhile, the Iraqi government servers relations with the United States following the Arab-Israeli War of June.
1968 - On 17 July, the Baath returns to power in a bloodless coup that Hussein helps organise, leading the storm of the presidential palace. A group of Sunni Iraqis from Tikrit, the birthplace of Hussein, take the top posts in the new Baath government. Bakr is made president. Hussein is appointed as acting deputy chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council (the government's most powerful decision-making body) in July.
