You're right, it wouldn't be like Iraq under Hussein. It would be like Iraq now if not worse.
The question is: Is it worth the lives of Americans, is it worth any degree of chaos in our own homeland, just so you can install your insane, unworkable economic system?
Yes. I agree; many profit-motivated, corrupted corporations exploit the working man daily.
No. I'd rather see America have the capability to defend itself. I find it sick that some people take this capability for granted and I find it sicker that there are those who would do away with it. It is beyond me why you or anyone would rather put our country in a position where the safety and wellbeing of our citizens would rest in a private corporation that would only defend us if we were the "highest bidder". I'd rather see America employ an economic system where public and private industry can both work side by side and each bring it's own benefits to the country and the people. I'd rather see Americans appreciate what they do have and make an effort to preserve what they do have. By the way, what do you mean "enslave it's citizens"?

I said that the geurilla warfare tacticts are usually empoyed by the smaller army. I was giving a real world example, this is obvuisly something with which you struggle, given the fact that you have given no real world examples of your economic theories, all the while criticizing mine because "real world" is not an "economics text book."
I am beginning to get fed up with you. Please explain to me how the working man is exploited every day?
When you make these crazy assertions, such as firms somehow make money by not satisfying the consumer, but sometimes profit doesn't matter, but the firm will be able to get $500,000,000,000 a year, you make no sense.
Please explain to me, once and for all two things. 1) How does a company make money with out satisfying consumers, and with out government help. Provide an example that I can study, 2) Explain how a monopoly form on the free market, while considering my objections to your theory. Provide an example that I can study.
The army enslaves the citizens by conscripting them into service. If this is not slavery, I do not know what is. Further, laws such as the Taft-Hartley Act allow the state to stop a strike. This means that people are forced to work; this is slavery.
By the way, did you go to college? Are you in college? If so, what is (was) your major?
