Friedman argues that, “the great achievement of capitalism,” unlike what its critics claim, has not been “accumulation of property” but instead “the opportunities it has offered to men and women to extend and develop and improve their capacities” (Friedman, 2002: 169). Neoliberal advocates at the World Bank who draw from Friedman’s promises of freedom of choice and progress, have developed a promising “all inclusive” Kurdistan Vision 2020. They too argue their vision is for the greater good of…

“What do you think?” I asked. “I think it is important to have a debate before going to war. Americans are different. They have to believe they are righto go to war.

Sarge told…

The powerful phrase, “weapons of mass destruction,” is often viewed as the underlying catalyst for invading Saddam Hussein’s Baathist led country. After the shocking events that surfaced on September 11th; the world precariously anticipated on a plan of recourse on how to defend against the uprising of radical Arab groups in the Middle East.
