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".
