Former Baathists eye change after U.S. decision to ease restrictions.
Byline: Robert Moran
BAGHDAD, Iraq _ Until last May, Miklif al Dulimi was vice president of Baghdad University. He was also a longtime member of Saddam Hussein's ruling Baath Party.
Al Dulimi lost his prestigious post when the U.S.-led coalition ordered a purge of thousands of former party members in an attempt to sweep away the remnants of Baath influence on Iraqi society.
Now al Dulimi, 53, spends his days "just sitting home," he said.
That may soon change as a result of U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer's April 23 order to ease restrictions on former Baathists.
Al Dulimi, a scholar of Hebrew literature, hopes he will soon get official word that he can go back to work. He doesn't want to be vice president again, he said this week. "I just want to be a professor to teach students."
