Racist “Transformation” Strategies

The meaning of failure

The Pirate’s mission in Iraq is doomed on its own terms. The objective of their crusade is to impose corporate terms of relationships throughout the world – their version of globalization – enforced by the U.S. military and any sepoys they can gather. Bush’s people constantly remind us that Iraq is to be a “model” for the New American Century (“This is the future for the world …”) The “freedom” they crave for Iraqis requires American corporate domination of the economic and political life of the country. As scholar Tariq Ali points out in the August 27 issue of Counterpunch: “For the US, the main thing in Iraq is to push through the privatisation of Iraq’s oil, to achieve the liberalisation of the Iraqi economy and to get the big US corporations in there. They are not too concerned as to how the country will be run, as long as that sort of economic structure is maintained.”
