The IMF, the US government, the Paris Club and other international organizations are making a cruel joke of the promise of democracy and self determination in Iraq.
Naomi Klein, the award-winning journalist and author of the international best seller, No Logo, spoke to the abyss between the spin of the new democratic Iraq in the US media and the reality on the ground. The wave of privatization, instituted by Paul Bremer and reinforced by the International Monetary Fund, will not easily be reversed since the new government needs an impossible to reach majority to undo Bremer's laws and enact the wishes of the Iraqi people.
Naomi Klein writes an internationally syndicated column for The Nation, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail. Her web site is: www.nologo.org/
