With the the US again escalating its war against Iraq, many have decried the failure of US Middle-Eastern policy. But a "failure" to the majority may be a "success" to the elite, who profit from those policies.
NAOMI KLEIN (2006) and MICHAEL PARENTI (2007) each argue this point, with many examples from the recent past--including Iraq. Plus a song by James McMurtry.
Updated with new commentary by KD.
