Summary: Impassioned plain-talk
Comment: I heard Mr. Ali on a radio program recently defending his book against criticism _from the left_. Cogent, well-reasoned, and engaging arguments deflated the weak-willed neoliberal, interventionist callers. Ali shows in this book how America's newest colonial venture, while not exactly identical with nineteenth-century empire building, operates on a similar plane. The new name of the game is _economic_ imperalism, foisted upon Iraq, Afghanistan, and anyone else who dares to disagree with the free market. Ali skewers critics who suggest that soldiers must remain in Iraq for the indefinite future; he does so not with rhetoric or opinion, but with history and clearly-comprehended fact.
Now, do _you_ disagree with what Mr. Ali says? _Read_ his book and come up with logical arguments to refute the facts presented therein. _Far_ from a member of the "loony left" (as one of the ignorant "reviewers" here at amazon.com called Ali), the author is well-reasoned, measured, and unstinting in his exposing of the falsehood of the "New World Order", the free market, and its adherents on the political left _and_ right.
Finally, don't be scared away by the amazon.com editorial review, which faults the book for actually daring to stick to its arguments and not flinch in the face of political correctness. Only in a "democracy" as deeply decayed and corrupted as the US can speaking one's mind truthfully, forcefully, and in a language designed to excite public attention actually be considered a negative.

Summary: Why do these idiots hate America
Comment: We went to Iraq to save the Iraqi's from that horrible dictator and mass murderer Sadam. God has blessed America, a Christian nation. We have the best system in the world, and it is our charity and Christian goodness that we want to share it with others and give the Arabs democracy - something that in the 200+ years of the history of our great nation, no Arab country has managed to give themselves. Our soldiers have died not just for Americans, but for Iraqis as well - like Christ died for us sinners. We have freed Iraqi women and children from the horrible chemical attacks of Sadam and his perverted sons. Iraqi women, like all Arab women, are forced to wear black all day and cover their faces because they are truly not free because the Islam does not make people free. So we have liberated them. We have spent billions of dollars in a war to liberate a nation and to make peace in the world and to protect our best friend Israel from terrorist evils. Remember America lost 3000+ AMERICAN CITIZENS in an undeclared war (like Perl Harbor) by terrorists from that part of the world. Of course this book is just garbage and comes from outside the USA.

Summary: The truth about Iraq and its history
Comment: Tariq Ali does a masterful job of explaining the conflict in terms of colonization. He draws indesputably clear parallels between the British colonization of Iraq and America's recent ongoing attempt to do the same. His conclusion isnt pretty, but if you want to stop lying to yourself and really know whats going on, you should read this. Its an easy read and pretty short, never boring.
