Saddam

FTR, Hashemite's inactive Iraqi survivor (which is still in the International General Discussion board, awaiting being moved...) was a post-Saddam one, so I agree on this survivor which isn't the same.

I thought so, but thanks for backing me up.

Farewell, Saddam!



As bad as you were, you didn't deserve to be lynched by Muqtada Sadr's thugs.  What the hell were the Iraqis thinking, botching his execution that way?

Round two!  Go!

Why do I have a feeling Ghazi's going to win?

Also, why are you people going after al-Maliki when Ayad Allawi was much worse?

Anyways, Bremer.

Paul Bremer gets knocked off!



15 months of horrendous misadministration gives this American proconsul the boot.

Round 3 starts!  I'm going after the first Arif (the Arif brothers were real monsters).

The head of America's first short-lasting puppet regime is the next to go.

Round 5: Fight!

I'm going with Adbul Salam Arif.

In a unanimous vote, the elder Arif crashed and burned.

Round 6 starts now.  Let's finish off the Arifs, shall we?

It's kind of funny that all three of the Hashemites are still in the running.  I'm still claiming that Ghazi I will be the eventual winner.

Abdul Rahman Arif has accepted a quiet retirement from the poll after hearing that he was no longer in the running.  (Seriously, I didn't know he lived to 2007.  Amazing.)

Round 7 is a go.

I'll vote Maliki.

For the record, still in contention are the three Hashemites, Qasim, and the two post-war Prime Ministers.

Nouri al-Maliki hangs out with someone that knows how to deal with being rejected by an electorate.

Round 8 is on!  Remember, we have the three Hashemites, Qasim, and al-Jaffari left in the running.

I'll target Faisal I.

I'm going to leave this open for another day.  As it stands, it's 3 for al-Jaffari, 2 for Faisal I, 1 for Ghazi and 1 for Qasim.  I want to give more people a chance to weigh in on our closest one yet.

You'll only let time for non regular voters to cast a... random or deeply uninformed vote... Sad

Or no extra votes at all.



Ibrahim al-Jaffari was the next to be sealed away.

This leaves Faisal I, Ghazi, Faisal II, and Qasim.  Every post-1963 leader has been dealt with.

I'll take another shot at old Faisal I.  He was so unpopular that Syria kicked him out and he had to be given a new country, and (like his father) was one of the biggest colonial stooges ever.

The least-puppetlike of Iraq's three kings is out.

Round 9 starts now.  Remember, if voting for a Faisal, specify which one.  Faisal I & II and Abdul Qarim Kasim remain.

Faisal I.

It was narrow, but with 4 votes for Faisal I and 3 for Faisal II, Faisal I gets knocked off.



I always thought the guy in the back row looked so out of place.  You see that image several hundred times, you start noticing these things.

Anyway, it's time for the final round.  Vote for the one you WANT TO WIN.

Faisal II was a minor for most of his reign.  During his reign, there was a pro-German coup to end British influence that utterly failed (the Iraqis wanted freedom, the Nazis wanted Iraq's oil to not be in British hands), and a growth of Western influence.  He was anti-Nasserist and towards the end proposed a union with Jordan to concentrate Hashemite power.  He ended up dead in a 1958 coup.

Speaking of that 1958 coup, our other contestant, Abdul Karim Qasim, was one of the major coupsters.  Qasim's government was initially very close to Nasser (see the three-star Iraq flag), but ended up breaking away from Nasserism.  He was an adamant Arab nationalist and an ardent modernist, even proposing famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright redesign Baghdad(!).  He was killed in a Baathist coup in 1963, which was swiftly repressed and led to the tyrannical regime of the Arif brothers.

Qasim.  Can you imagine how awesome a Frank Lloyd Wright Baghdad would've been?

King Faisal II fails to wake up one morning.

Three cheers to Abdul Karim Qasim!



You've been voted as the best least bad ruler in Iraqi history!
