(1,406 posts)Saw Iraq as an incubator to test their theories of unbridled capitalism. They wanted to create a zone of zero government control and let the market set and build a Capitalist Utopia. Hey all it will cost is the lives of the real 1% we should be protecting (Service members). Visions from Ivory towers usually never come true. That was their primary purpose, bonus Saddam tried to kill my daddy. He was a corrupt sociopath that was destroying his people, of course he learned from the best, he was just not as subtle. Overt destruction of your people lends to discovery.
As for the banks, did we not see this quarterback keeper when Daddy was President. It was called the Savings and Loans. It worked out so well they ran it again and got an even bigger gain. At least some people went to jail for the S$L. None for the TOO BIG TOO FAIL. Is that also not one of the reasons for the Anti-monopoly laws.
