« Nuclear Deterrence: Only a Step on the Way | Main | Christians or "Franklinians?" »

American policy under Bush is amazingly consistent. There is a single theme which unites foreign and domestic policies with the war in Iraq. To discover what that is, just "follow the money." Tax cuts for the wealthy, environmental depredation, commitment to very large corporate interests over small business and workers, lack of concern for active duty military and veterans: all these can be connected with the war in Iraq by looking at who is making money. The Los Angeles Times published an article this morning which explains Bush's economic invasion of Iraq. This article points out that the Transitional Authority Law, which can only be changed by the Iraqis with great difficulty, ensures the privatization of most Iraqi industries and allows for foreign corporations to reap the profit. This is the real reason for the war and it differs not at all from his other policies. Consistency there is, honesty there is not. Read it and understand.
