Re: [Marxism] IRAQ: Extraordinary interview with pro-resistance Iraqi Nationalis

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I worry when I read things like this:

"There is, however, so much evidence that the intelligence
services of the US, of the Iraqi as well as of the Iranian
government are the real source of the violence. They plant
bombs or pack them into cars which are then being exploded
by remote control or by helicopter in both Shiite and Sunni
areas deliberately killing civilians not involved in
politics. Thus, they try to spark the sectarian conflict."

I don't doubt that this is entirely possible. But that there is "so much 
evidence" of this is highly dubious. I worry that this is yet another 
example of the deification of the "qui bono" theory of politics, the same 
theory that brought us the "Bush administration blew up the twin towers" 
conclusion. Yes, "qui bono" is a very good question to ask. But it doesn't 
automatically provide the answer.
