lazybugger Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n07/tariq-ali/the-new-world-disorder short snippets: 1. America's invasion of Iraq is now considered as a minor excess in history. Its a shocking victory for neoliberalism. 2. In past wars, the defeated atleast had a social structure in place. eg. Japan, Germany. 3. But in Iraq, the existing structure was dismantled and power was given to extremely bigoted clerics. 4. Atleast Saddam was tyrannical, but not bigoted. 5. Baghdad university in 1986 had more women professors than Princeton had in 2009. 6. One of the most stable societies in the region was destroyed. Every part of it was shredded.
