What ever happened to free trade? What ever happened to freedom of speech?

Good questions. They never existed in Iraq-- until now.

I’m sorry, but that’s simply inconsistent with reality. Free trade
absolutely does not exist in Iraq. As just one example, an enormous,
multibillion-dollar, well-connected company has a stranglehold on the
reconstruction process in a no-bid contract; what free-trade-minded Iraqi
company can compete with that?
And f ree speech certainly doesn’t exist, as discussed here (and many other
places): Article 1
Article 2

Whatever happened to opposing blood-thirsty dictators, and promoting
freedom and democracy in the world?

Without being overly facetious, it’s amazing to me how many of these rhetorical
questions apply equally well to Dubya as to Hussein.
Dave!
