a rather extreme way of putting it, A.W. but you don't have to examine too closely the drive toward serfdom that the Bush administration has been pushing: every action of theirs as been calculated to prevent any change of "economic development" in the 3rd world (their terminology, they own the language) How? By running policy the way J. Paul Bremmer has in Iraq - to use the money allocated to accomplish exactly the opposite of what has been publicly "fetted": the so-called insurrection in Iraq is exactly the type of self-defeating creation I mean - and one that is designed to bust out the US economical, drive the middle class into serfdom and reduce the poor to chattle.
