This appears to be the leftist take on the big bad 'globalists'. They really love to infer that corporate executives are evil incarnate. Their is one big hole in this anti-business 'globalists are bad' rant. What is missing is, big bad communist China. Your know the guys who originally owned the north Korean ship that was recently caught shipping advanced scud missles to a middle eastern Islamic country. Apparently the leftist anti-globalists rant is not applicbale to Chinese communists.

That is the problem with most leftist political theories and conspiratorial 'insights'. Communists and socialist can never really be casted into the 'globalist' light. Which explains why they support enlightened socialists dictators (such as Castro and Saddam). They are apparently blinded by the dictators enlightment.

I agree that the Lefties try to always paint the capitalists as evil, and ignore the Socialists. In fact, one of my greatest fears is that if our war against the Moslems (and that's what it is, not just Iraq or Al-Quaida) isn't handled well, we'll end up fighting most of them simultaneously, and that will so tie us up that the North Koreans and Chinese can do pretty much what they want. Thankfully, Bush appears to be using good strategery so far.

We need to be able to pick off one Islamist regime at a time unless, that is, we can get some decent allies. Other than Israel and the Brits, we appear not to have any. OK, F'em. We'll do it ourselves, but it will take longer. China's time will come - though I'm sure that Bush's people hope to merely contain China until it implodes in 15 or 20 years like the old Soviet Union. No one sane could possibly want to fight 1.2 billion people armed with nukes. We could do it and win, but the cost would be incredibly high in both people and treasure. Far better to let their system - the one with the real internal contradictions, destroy itself.

In the meanwhile, we'll just pick off one corrupt, Islamist regime at our leisure. First Iraq, then Iran, Israel can take care of Syria, Libya, Sudan - and then the Saudis. After that, the rest don't matter and will fall in line (i.e. not support terrorists). There's no hope that they'll ever like us, but I don't care - as long as they don't bother us, let them worship a false religion and eat sand.

Getting back to the article, I think that there are some good points. And surely there are some corporations controlled by people who we'd call Nazis or neo-Nazis. It is, of course, absurd to say that they all are, or that so many are that they effectively control the corporate world. However, it is quite possible that the Arabs are being manipulated into being cannon fodder for some mysterious group somewhere - I'm NOT a tinfoil hat type, but there's lots going on in this world that we don't know about and would be very surprised about. Try reading some of the books cited at the end of the article - very interesting and VERY well researched. Simply put, the world is not as it seems on the surface. It never hurts to listen to a different explanation and do a bit of reading and thinking to determine if that new theory makes any sense.
