Re: No revolution will be needed to...

The US promised to threaten the Arab world with a democratic showcase of a new Iraq.  What the US is in fact doing is positioning itself to mortgage Iraq's future oil production,  so they will be in a position similar to the one Angola finds itself in.  The interests of the dominant, US and international capitalist class, the WASP and their monied friends,  is to make sure that weaker countries are buried in a sea of debt so that the wealth which is plundered from those countries, in the form of interests payments, is always equal to or greater than the wealth these countries can transfer to the West in the form of raw materials.  In that way,  the poorer countries, who are in no position to negotiate,  lose money on the sale of their natural resources.  They come up owing money from the sale.  In order to prevent complete collapse within those economies,  the US transfers about 1/10th of the plundered wealth back to those countries, disproportionately, of course, on condition that they adhere to certain *market conditions*.  The market conditions they want to impose on Iraq are similar to those they impose elsewhere, naturally, they have a successful formulae and it makes America the wealthiest country on earth.  Iraq's national assets are to be sold off.  If people are doing without water and electricity in Iraq it's because the US does not want to repair or restore these basic commodities.  The US would prefer to sell off all state assets and then grant license to American corporations to develop these resources, restore them to the  condition they were in before the US destroyed the facilities, and then permit them to sell these commodities to the Iraqi people at a profit.  Anything which turned a profit and was national property of the Iraqi people will become the private property of and turn profits for US corporations.  That isn't to say that after a good fleecing,  some of these US corporations won't declare bankcruptcy after the shareholders experience a fleecing similar to the one they anticipate giving the Iraqi people.  They're two sides of the same coin and always were.
