In Iraq's case this was the Baath, or Renaissance, Party, a vehicle which he ultimately transformed, through terrifyingly capricious ruthlessness, into a fascistic tool for his own absolute control.
What shocked me was the discourteousness and ignorance of the professor. A high-profile professor had to lock the door, by such a fascistic method, to resist truancy.
Immigration lawyers, I think especially, who are going without sleep, who I think are risking death threats and probably physical violence, trying to prevent the fascistic policies that are going on today.
