Why did our government put people with no previous training in charge of Iraq after the war?
The Bush Administration’s neoCon’s would not allow those who had the experience of post-war recovery, the State Department, to enter the country – or at least have decision-making powers. The Bushites thought that their pro-corporate approach would work. It, the corporate, business-as-usual approach didn’t, hasn’t, and won’t work very well. Everybody but the American people knows it’s been a disaster. Hardly any infrastructure built after six full years and massive costs. Witness last month’s latest farce of an election in which the vote expressed a strong desire for the winning party platform to KICK the Americans out of the country. American media, stupidly – predictably – typically, didn’t portray the meaning of the vote, only celebrating that a “democratic” vote took place. Right, and the popular will was to kick them out – but THAT wasn’t reported!!
