Overthrowing Saddam Hussein's Regime, but not rescinding his Laws

[ck4829]

I've picked up a new magazine today.

It is called The Progressive.

This month has an interesting issue about Labor Unions in Iraq.

The US overthrew Saddam Hussein, but for some reason, we didn't repeal an Act which greatly restricted Union Activity (Or this Act may have completely banned Unions, I can remember).

Whatever the case, it is very interesting to see that we got rid of the man, but we have done next to nothing to heal the wounds that he has created.
