The People vs George Bush

I've read an article yesterday that documents an insiders account, Ali Allawi about the ultimate failure of the United States to stick to its word. According to him, good intentions but with a big mess left behind. The U.S achieved the Iraqis desired to rid of the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. However, they have replaced that with the corroded, inefficient, incompetent and corrupt state of the new order. See the connection above? Is that as parallel as Star Wars Episodes III and IV?

The actual article is at this link: here

Noam Chomsky's book, Failed States clearly supplements, complements and demonstrates the proof of failure committed by the United States. The main mistake is caused by bureaucracy and mismanagement. Extracts from the article include:

1) The Iraq army was disbanded with after Saddam was ousted. A fatal mistake here as they could have retain the army and help to ensure the security of the people. Instead, they become renegades and were forced to become the pool of resistance against the American stooges.

2) They purged 10 thousands of members of Saddam's Baath party where they could have retained them to ensure proper administration of the country, rather than dismantling from scratch and start again.

3) The Coalition Provisional Authority took the fuel subsidies and sell it at a giveaway price, thus reducing the country's budget.

Paul Bremer together with some generals, who ran the CPA, wanted to retain the military and government members and instead they were rebuffed from the White House cohorts. Bremer's authority was undermined by the W.H's micromanagement. He was never given the chance to do the job properly.

In addition to that, Moqtada Al-Sadr's Shiite community clearly stated their intention of to have the military leaving Iraq as soon as possible. There is a point hidden from here, which is a big group of Iraqis DO indeed know of the hegemony and hidden crimes committed by the Bush administration. People everywhere are indeed very angry of this endless war. What will they get except for the oil that the people crave for.

To the Bush administration, this was part of their "Bush Doctrine" and their intention of spreading their word of Bush - their policies, democracy and the American way, which is a subversion of the dream, truth and justice as well as a perfect utopia that Caesar or even Kennedy imagined.

The thing people started to see through the holes of the black veil of that is the Bush administration. Chomsky stated that 80 percent of Europeans and 36 percent of Canadians perceive America as the biggest threat unlike the Axis of Evil - Iran, North Korea and Iraq. People are getting worried on living in a world shaped and dominated by the U.S And they have come to be deeply fearful and suspicious of them. Imagine this, you walk to JFK airport, those immigration people no longer greet you and you will susceptible to an intense body check including your orifices! That will take about close to 30 minute to 1 hour before you are cleared. If you are Muslim in particular, they are trained to be more prejudiced to them. After all, isn't the Al-Qaeda responsible for 9/11?
