#1 While they are at it they coukd drop other references. I don't klnow about Syria but I have been told the complete name of Iraqui Baath was:

"the Iraqui National-Socialist Party for Arab Renovbation". Baath means renovation in Arabic.

#5 Considering that so much of our Democratic Party's leadership was objectively pro-Saddam, I can't imagine that they'd have any colorable objection.
