Iraq: an interesting perspective

”I think the U.S. has primarily made mistakes in rebuilding Iraq rather than screwing things up on purpose,” [journalist Aaron Glantz] told IPS. ”For example, I think many good people in the CPA [Coalition Provisional Authority] thought Iraq was and still is 'not ready' for democracy. I think they're wrong.”

”Their fault is that they support democracy only if the government elected is friendly to the Bush administration's geo-strategic ends.”

are you telling me that we didn't go into iraq in the first place with "geo-strategic ends" in mind...?
