No War: Amera's Real Business in Iraq
By
Naomi Klein
Visiting Iraq for the first time after the Invasion ended, Naomi Klein was immediately struck by a billboard going up advertising foreign goods. Contrary to what is commonplace thinking today, there always was a game plan for postwar Iraq. The War which was supposedly started to liberate the Iraqis from Saddam Hussein was really aimed at something quite different from the start—the subjugation of the Iraqi population to a new belief that greed is good, and to overthrow its existing cultural order, not just its political order. Like giant corporations, the British and American governments cynically marketed the war with the ultimate spin, freedom. Dishonestly brandishing values like freedom and democracy, the aim of the War was all along the exploitation and impoverishment of workers and communities in Iraq.
