For those who think Bush is right in trying to get Iraq’s debt lifted... perhaps
you should suggest he look closer to home first:
It’s greed, not
ideology, that rules the White House
==+==
The Kissinger transcript proves that the US gave money and political
encouragement to the generals’ murderous campaign. And yet, despite its now
irrefutable complicity in Argentina’s tragedy, the US has opposed all attempts
to cancel the country’s debt. And Argentina is hardly exceptional. The US has
used its power in the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to block
campaigns to cancel debts accumulated by apartheid South Africa, Marcos in the
Philippines, Duvalier’s brutal regime in Haiti and the dictatorship that sent
Brazil’s debt spiralling from $5.7bn in 1964 to $104bn in 1985.

Happy reading!
