   Think about it.  Texas-style democracy. 
   
   Pre-invasion, Iraq was a state built on cheap oil and cheap labor, 
   with 
   several classes of citizens, fundamentalists with a gun on every 
   block, 
   paranoia, and a small cadre of graft-fed politicians leading them
all.  
   
   Now, that model has been modified by US forces who ousted their 
   leader, 
   Saddam, and replaced him with the Texas model: a state built on
cheap  
   oil, cheap labor, several classes of citizens, fundamentalists with
a  
   gun 
   on every block, paranoia, and a small cadre of graft-fed politicians 
   leading them all. 
   
   Progress, Republican style.

   Interesting quote. NOYB will rip this to shreds. 
   
   The military victory of the US-led coalition in March-April 2003 
   resulted 
   in the shutdown of much of the central economic administrative 
   structure. 
   Although a comparatively small amount of capital plant was damaged 
   during 
   the hostilities, looting, insurgent attacks, and sabotage have 
   undermined 
   efforts to rebuild the economy. Despite continuing political 
   uncertainty, 
   the Iraqi Interim Government (IG) has founded the institutions needed 
   to 
   implement economic policy, and has successfully concluded a debt 
   reduction 
   agreement with the Paris Club. The high percentage gain estimated for 
   GDP 
   in 2004 is the result of starting from a low base. 
  
  Please publish the entire quote, or a link to where I can read the
entire  
  synopsis so that I can "rip this to shreds"...if it needs ripping.  As
it  
  stands, I can't make rhyme or reason out of your snipped passage. 
  
  It's rhyme NOR reason. And to think you put yourself so high on a 
  pedastel because you've never heard anyone say "what TO hell". 
  
 
 What is a *pedastel* Kevin?
"It's rhyme NOR reason" ......what a "master" of the englihs language.
 
LMAO
