“Saving” Iraq
P. Schultz
January 1, 2014
Nothing the
US does will “save” Iraq, primarily because the purpose of US policy is
decidedly not to save Iraq. And that was not and is not today the purpose of US
policy. Rather, the purpose of Shrub’s invasion and occupation was to undermine
Iraq as a functioning nation, just as it was and is the purpose of US in the
Middle East to create chaos there for as long as is possible and regardless of
the inhumanity of this policy. One should never underestimate, as Machiavelli
reminded us, of the inhumanity of those we label today “realists.” To succeed,
the prince must “learn to be able not to be good.” Link follows.
Happy New Year!
