Anyone read this report by Oxfam ?? If not, you should. It puts to rest this notion of Iraq getting better under American occupation. Here's a page giving the quick overview:

Unfortunately, the U.S. has no intention of leaving Iraq, and will probably stay for years to come.

All of this is costing the American taxpayer upwards of $1 trillion, and a lost, alienated generation is being produced in the middle east.

Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose, and Al Qaeda is reportedly thriving.....

How can anyone in their right mind think that U.S. foreign policy is on the right track. It is horribly awry. America, you've lost me, and you've lost a great many people in the rest of the world as well. Philosphically, politically and ethically, I couldn't be any further away from where the U.S. is going right now, and I have nothing but sympathy for the avg. Iraqi.

    Yes it is.

    But that's generally what happens when an invasive force tries to occupy a country they're not wanted in by all.

    The plan looked almost foolproof in theory, but like Communism or home-made wallpaper paste, it falls apart in practise.

    The plan looked amazingly dumb to me.

    I don't get all the insistence of stupidity in this administration.

    To ME, it is a bit more SINISTER and LESS STUPID than most on here would like for it to be.

    The Bush Agenda: Invading The World, One Economy At A Time and only forty pages in my eyes are opening up to even more corruption and corporate \ globalist cronyism than i ever even understood before.

    The level of infiltration that BIG OIL interests alone have perpetrated on our government is enough to make you want to cry. I'll post some quotes when i get home.

    These people are not without a plan.
    The plan IS for Iraq to go poorly. To have everyone on the ground confused and oppressed, while Bush, Cheney, Condy, and friends plunder Iraq by using a true puppet government and the laws with which THEY feed it (we wrote their constitution, for all purposes of argument) ... forcing Iraq to open it's oil pumps up to the world ... with the US first in line, of course ... forcing Iraq to allow multinational corporations to come in and run EVEYRTHING ... sucking it dry ... oil pump by oil pump ...

    and forcing it's economy to "westernize" for the benefit of the strategicaly placed elite within our country ...

    seriously.

    it's not a conspiracy theory.
    it's what is happening.
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
