James Ridgeway in The Village Voice tells us what we have proudly given Iraq for the holidays.
And we wonder why the "insurgency" is growing. As people become more and more despondent as they spiral into poverty; as they do not have items at there disposal that they had before our occupation; and as they see no future in Iraq as long as we are occupiers - they will turn towards those giving them a glimmer of hope.
Isn't this the simplified story of the American Revolution. Throw off an occupier (in our case the King as ruler) to control our own destiny, control our own lives, control our own economy.....
