The way i look at it, after bluffing the world on Iraq nuke
plants and weapon of mass destruction which after conquering
it, they found nothing. America turns toward Iran, the next
most powerful islamic state, again, the excuses given is nuclear
activities and terrorists in Iran. I think there are hidden agendas
within it,
1. control of oil
2. control of the Arab states
3. removing the threat on Israel (american best friend)
if you look at the Arabs country, currently, egypt, jordan,
Saudi, UAE, kuwait, bahrain etc are co-operating with well with
USA, the only blockage here is IRAN, so both in economy and power
sense, USA would want Iran to pay tribute to them, otherwise, lots
of excuses will fall in...when Saddam said, American is one of
the an axis of Evil, i have no doubt, that he is not far from
making a wrong statement.
You may want to look up John Perkin's "Confessions of an
Economic Hitmen", which details how, during his days as an
economist for a private consulting firm, he and other "economic
hitmen" used the WB/IMF and other 'international' institutions as
tools to bring third world countries to their knees via economic
means. First corruption, then assassination, finally military
invasion. Iraq was an example where the first two failed, thus the
1991 and 2003 invasions.
The advantage of working for a private corporation while trying
to economically bring developing countries into western servitude
was that even if he and his colleagues were caught, it wouldnt
cause an international scandal.
According to him, that's how the US and western interests have
built the world's first global empire, though that is unknown to
most people, even Americans.
Here's
a five part interview with him on "Democracy Now"
