My father has always told me that the day the Castro regime falls in Cuba, a lot of blood will run as collaborators get their comeuppances. And not just government officials, but others–from communist artists to neighborhood watch snitches. Dad certainly remembers who jeered him and his family when they left the island. It looks like his prediction is coming tue in Iraq as the Ba’athists get their’s. According to the Washington Post:

The number of revenge killings against Baathists seems to be picking up as Iraqis are losing hope that the U.S. is really going to go after former party hacks. “Why can Americans kill anyone they want? Why can’t we?” said one man. “I will kill Baathists myself. This is my right.” Given the state of things in Iraq, the WP understandably doesn’t have hard numbers on the recent killings. But within the past few days, one well-known suck-up singer to Saddam was murdered as was the former head of Iraq’s official artists union.
