I see no repairs being made. I see Halliburton's vultures feasting on military 
contracts. I see vicious hate campaigns and bombast and the way being cleared 
for even more frightful invasions. I see Iraq's villages being turned into a 
freefire zones of military colonialism and its cities into freefire zones of 
neoliberalism. I see bodybags and covert ops and murder and mayhem. I see 
Bananamerica turning slowly into Mordor.
