Iraq Diaries - Taxicab Diaries

Another cabbie that I spoke with a few days ago, a tall, thin man with a stressed expression on his face, told me that he was convinced now that the United States was doing bad things to his country on purpose. Why would they want to do this you might ask? He explained, to foment the state of chaos so that people are kept busy worrying about the electricity and water and security rather than getting busy with opposing the occupation. This is a sobering thought that has unfortunately been expressed to me more than once by people from all walks of life here in Iraq, even the people who really wanted the United States to invade Iraq and who thought that the US was sincerely interested in liberating their country and rebuilding it.

People are frustrated with the continued chaos here and the seeming lack of response by the US to address the rifts that exist among ethnic groups and to fix the humanitarian and economic crises that are plaguing this country. When I mentioned to this cabbie that the problem as I saw it was that the US came here without any specific plan for the country, he rejected these words in favor of the stronger analysis which I am sometimes hesistant to say out loud because it is so hard to swallow. He cited the facts that this war plan for the takeover of Iraq was in the works long before it happened and long before September 11th, and when I come face to face with this I know it to be true. Ask any seasoned expert on this issue and he or she will give you the same analysis. Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the other architects of the "New American Century" have been planning this war for a while, which makes it all the more concerning that the situation in Iraq remains so terrible for the majority of people here. If they were planning for this, then was this chaos part of the plan?
