Oooooh, what's this?? An Iraq thread!!!
I'm reading a book by swedish former defense staff advisor/diplomat advisor, Erik Pierre, called something like (it's in swedish) "Iraq - 25 secrets. What was behind the wars in Iraq - Iraq's role in american and french politics 1970 - 2005". Fascinating stuff! It's incredible to what degree both USA and France were up to their necks in Saddam's ***** even
before he came to power.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
