No government, and just about everyone has a gun. Iraq should be a paradise, shouldn't it? Is it fair to use Iraq as an examplar of what is wrong with neo-conservative ideology?
But look at all the millionaires made! Well, OK, you can't really look at them, because we don't really know exactly who most of them are. But surely we made quite a few millionaires with the hundreds of millions of dollars that turned up missing in Iraq. And don't forget the shareholders of Halliburton. They cleaned up, too.
