From truthout article written yesterday, sent to me today, HOW we are deliberately culturizing Iraqis to control them,
and prefaced by this:
( The USA ) with other strong nations
"have secured the mandate to invade, with impunity, any society and any state that can be exploited for resources." "It is said that history is written by the victor. What is not said is that destroying the enemy is only half the purpose of a victor.
The other half is the subjugation and drastic alteration of the self-perception of the enemy, so as to gain unquestioned control over every aspect of the subjugated state, its populace and its resources, so that having won victory it can get on with the "much bigger business of plunder," according to Franz Fanon, philosopher, psychiatrist, author and a pre-eminent thinker of the twentieth century. "
and this:
"A national culture under colonial domination is a contested culture whose destruction is sought in systematic fashion." ( edited to add the above sentence)
The details:
