Please forgive this extensive post (by a newbie, no less), but this article, Baghdad Year Zero: Pillaging Iraq in Pursuit of a Neocon Utopia, by Naomi Klein in this month's Harper's Magazine is simply exceptional. It answers so many question about the Bush administration's approach to Iraq that I felt compelled to risk admonishment by Kos et al.
