Did you know that Coalition Provisional Authority chief Paul Bremer (the American assigned by Bush to 'rule free Iraq') had approved laws that allow 100 per cent foreign ownership of all Iraqi state assets apart from natural resources?
Do you know what that means? If your answer to any of above is no, do you know why that's the case?
Do you know what Joseph Stiglitz says about that? Who is he? Mr Stiglitz was former economic adviser to Bill Clinton, World Bank chief economist, and Nobel prize winner for economics. Enough credentials?
Find out what people like him has to say and you will discover a whole new world out there. To help you convince yourself, here's a little mind exercise for all:
Remember the story of the elephant and the 5 blind men? Let's extend that story a bit and wonder what will happen if those 5 fellas were lazy fellas and have no sense of curiosity and lack the ability to analyse data from multiple sources. What a field day we will then have hah?
You laughing by now? Ok let's have some more fun.
Let's further assume that these fellas are cocksure that their views of an elephant is correct, and start telling themselves that what the others were telling them are pure hogwash (some call it conspiracy theories but there are other terms u can get off a cheap dictionary). What do you think will then happen?
OK, you are not likely to be laughing by now but let's try to look ahead a bit shall we?
Let's then assume that these 5 fellas have children of their own (assumed to be also blind for our mental exercise & hey it's not too unrealistic, u never heard of genetics?) and they believe only in home education (hey, papa & mama knows best what), what then happens?
Well, don't ask me what I think. How do you know I am not like one of those fellas in our little exercise?
But I can tell you this: I am cocksure I am not God-like.
