  • Oh, it definitely could be. US run businesses are frequently targeted, but there was something about the starkness of the picture that spoke to me more broadly.

    It also captures the blowback on US businesses caused by our foreign policy.

    when we went into Iraq, we made no attempt to protect human and cultural interests. we protected oilwells and corporations.

    We used the ancient city of Babylon as a staging area and weapons stockpile.

    What brain boy thought THAT up...?
