Creative Destruction
The war in Iraq has been a rewarding success for an elite group in this country who have hijacked the implementation of foreign policy in the Middle East and national security.
The authors of the Project for the New American Century and a small clique of radical ideologues were instrumental in implementing the policy. It began with a position paper written in the 1980’s by the future Assistant Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith for Israeli’s Likud Party candidate Benny Netanyahu. Their Iraq War policy called for the dismemberment of Iraq into ethnically cleansed, tribal states ruled by clients under the control of our military-industrial complex. This is the reason Paul Bremer disbanded the entire Iraq state apparatus, by implementing the Doctrine of “Creative Destruction” of an entire sophisticated society and sovereign modern republic.
For them Iraq is a great success and the Neocons are congratulating themselves on a job well done. Their accomplishment includes over 800,000 Iraqi civilian dead and over 4 million refugees. According to UNHCR a total of 1.7 million people have been displaced within Iraq. A total of one million have fled to Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon.
Bush continues to claim that we’re fighting the people who attacked us on 9/11. We’ve taken a situation where there were a few committed terrorists, who were out to get us and made it into a situation where most Muslims are thinking about going after us. In “Imperial Hubris” Michael Scheuer writes: “The reality is that many of the worlds 1.3 billion Muslims hate us for our actions not our values.”
Iraq has only been a country since 1932 and the Iraqi Army is never going to stand up, because they don’t care about Iraq. They care about Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites.
Congress continues to focus on a foreign policy, which mostly calls for military solutions. The budget approved by Congress allocates 95 percent of all federal dollars for foreign engagement to the military. The joke has been on the American taxpayers, who have been burdened with a trillion dollars in debt, which will eventually reach 2 trillion.
