Neo-con paradise: The experiment starts in Iraq

The Washington Post reports:

Paul Brinkley, a deputy undersecretary of defense, has been called a Stalinist by U.S. diplomats in Iraq. One has even accused him of helping insurgents build better bombs. The State Department has taken the unusual step of enlisting the CIA to dispute the validity of Brinkley's work!

His transgression? He wants to begin reopening dozens of government-owned factories in Iraq.

Brinkley and his colleagues at the Pentagon believe that rehabilitating shuttered, state-run enterprises could reduce violence by employing tens of thousands of Iraqis. Officials at State counter that the initiative is antithetical to free-market reforms the United States should promote in Iraq.

You can't make this stuff up! Neo-cons are running an experiment in Iraq: the laissez-faire dream of a fully free market society, with no government jobs, assistance or regulation. One can conclude that what is happening in Iraq would be the neo-con pipe dream for America. They would love to eliminate government jobs and union jobs. This is the neo-con agenda: an anti-worker, anti-family, anti-middle class ideology. They would love a immobile caste system in America. They are pushing for their utopia in Iraq; the next logical step would be to bring their new vision of capitalism to America.
