Oil Grab In Iraq
by Antonia Juhasz and Raed Jarrar, Foreign Policy In Focus
February 22nd, 2007
While debate rages in the United States about the
military in Iraq, an equally important decision is being made inside of
Iraq--the future of Iraq’s oil. A new Iraqi law proposes to open the
country’s currently nationalized oil system to foreign corporate
control. But emblematic of the flawed promotion of “democracy” by the
Bush administration, this new law is news to most Iraqi politicians.

Iraq's Oil Timeline
by Antonia Juhasz, Left Turn Magazine
May 1st, 2006
Amid all the talk of training Iraqi soldiers,
heading off a civil war, and protecting Iraq’s fledging democracy, one
overriding agenda has been ignored in the debate over the time-table
for bringing US troops home: President Bush will not withdraw US forces
until US oil companies have secure access to Iraq’s oil. |

Iraq Rebuilding Effort Reflects U.S. Failure
by Antonia Juhasz, The Los Angeles Times
April 13th, 2005
In the first U.S. invasion of Iraq, the electricity
grid was specifically targeted for destruction. Afterward, the Iraqis
rebuilt the system in just three months. After the second invasion,
George W. Bush had U.S. companies do the rebuilding. Two years later,
the system is not even up to prewar levels. |

Of Oil And Elections
by Antonia Juhasz, AlterNet
January 27th, 2005
Remember when we used to talk about how the war in
Iraq was about oil? Remember the banners that read "No blood for oil?"
Oil has fallen out of the discussion lately, but it's time to bring it
back in light of the Iraqi elections scheduled for this Sunday. |

At 2:00pm on Sunday, September 14, 2003, Dr Mukhisa
Kituyi, Kenya’s Trade and Industry Minister, entered the lobby of the
Cancun convention center to announce that the 5th Ministerial meeting
of World Trade Organization (WTO) had collapsed. Kenya, representing
several African and developing nations, walked out on the talks when
the Conference Chairman declared that negotiations were at a stalemate.
The ministerial was over. |

Fast Track is the wrong path to ending inequality
by Antonia Juhasz, The Progressive Media Project
December 4th, 2001
President Bush wants "Fast Track," a dangerous
proposition for democracy and for the world economy. Fast Track is
shorthand for granting the President the authority to eliminate many
key democratic processes used to create legislation, such as full
committee hearings, full debate and the ability to amend legislation. |
