Capitalism

In one place on Earth, [neoliberal] theory would finally be put into practice in its most perfect and uncompromised form. A country of 25 million would not be rebuilt as it was before the war; it would be erased, disappeared. In its place would spring forth a gleaming showroom for laissez-faire economics, a utopia such as the world had never seen. Every policy that liberates multinational corporations to pursue their quest for profit would be put into place: a shrunken state, a flexible workforce, open borders, minimal taxes, no tariffs, no ownership restrictions. The early policies of the CPA--firing hundreds of thousands of people, opening the countries borders completely to foreign trade tariff-free--not to mention at least a half a dozen "orders" handed down by L. Paul Bremer (particularly Orders 39, 40, 49 and 18), made this process possible. In particular, the orders mandated the privatization of state-owned enterprises; allowed 100 percent foreign ownership of businesses except oil; offered foreign firms the same privileges as domestic companies; allowed unrestricted, tax-free transfers of profits out of the country; and placed the duration ownership licenses at 40 years..."( Mark LeVine is professor of modern Middle Eastern history, culture and Islamic studies, UC Irvine, and the author of Why They Don't Hate Us: Lifting the Veil on the Axis of Evil (Oxford: Oneworld Publications, 2005).

Now see this, the War Mongers amid the Bush Clan had more than just oil in mind. They were after a proof of their economy strategies on a collossal scale. Iraq. They were going to re-make Iraq into the perfect 'laissez-faire economics" model. They wanted to prove that their extreme form of Capitalism, the absolute dominence of the Corporations over every facet of private and public life, would show the world their genius. "Best system on earth" they would say, while they privately stole every nickel they could see.

Capitalism is an economic and political system that absolutely depends on the suffering of other people. Period. It is the most avaricious, mean spirited, hate-filled system for moving great wealth from the poor and giving it to the rich ever devised. For the system to work, there must be someone exploited.

Short of sticking a gun in someone's face and demanding their money, it is the best means found to outright steal.

These bizarre Bushmen, these madmen, believe that making a few people obscenely weathy, would somehow be the best political and economic system to rule the world. How do you get that greedy? That lost to reality? That souless?
