That is precisely what the Americans began to engineer after their "shock and awe" invasion of 2003. Contrary to previous U.S. interventions abroad, [Saddam Hussein] was not toppled and replaced with another strongman - one more to the West's liking. Instead of regime change, we were given regime overthrow. Or as Daniel Pipes, one of the neoconservative ideologues of the attack on Iraq, expressed it, the goal was "limited to destroying tyranny, not sponsoring its replacement ... Fixing Iraq is neither the coalition's responsibility nor its burden. What did Washington hope to achieve? Pipes offers a clue: "When Sunni terrorists target [Shi]'a and vice- versa, non-Muslims |that is, U.S. occupation forces and their allies] are less likely to be hurt. Civil war in Iraq, in short, would be ...

RAMALLAH, West Bank Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his security chiefs had detailed evidence of Hamas' plans to seize Gaza, yet did not mobilize to stop the Islamic militants, an investigation concluded Saturday.

No blood for mobile phones," should perhaps be the new chant in Palestine. But it's that sad fact that held the Palestinian will hostage for too many years. However, it's not just mobile companies whose interests triumph over Gaza's agony. Indeed, the post-Oslo culture has espoused a class of contractors.
