Saddam Hussein is now a part of Iraqi history, but the departure of the Baathist regime has only ensured new challenges lie ahead for the nation and its people. This survey looks at the impact of this new order on Iraq's Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurdsand the impact they will have as Iraq emerges from the U.S. occupation.
