Wednesday's ARW Class

We saw a documentary program about the terrible treatment of Iraq by US. They took a big bite of Iraq's national budget. In addition, because they didn't build neat hospitals, many patients die. A journarist pointed out it, to my surprise, the ambassador of US in Iraq replied "It was a past matter." How does he regard Iraq? They are the same people as him.

Rab said US uses Iraq as the opportunity to get the money because they are not white, but I don't think so. The reason why I think so is that after W.W.Ⅱ, US took over Japan and implement a lot of actions. Thanks to them, Japan could become one of the advanced countries in the world. So I think the quality of restructuring depends on the quality of government which occupy other countries.

  1. As I said in class japan and germany were special cases as the US needed them to be anti communist. So they got special treatment, treatment that Iraq is not getting. Also I didn't say the US used Iraqi colour as excuse to get the money, I said that the race thing made it possible to get the money easily so they did it but their real reason for invading was control over the oil and the currency it is sold in.
