Corporate power is the driving force behind US foreign policy - and
the slaughter in Iraq
JK Galbraith

The Guardian
At the end of the second world war, I was the director for overall
effects of the United States strategic bombing survey - Usbus, as it
was known. I led a large professional economic staff in assessment of
the industrial and military effects of the bombing of Germany. The
strategic bombing of German industry, transportation and cities, was
gravely disappointing. Attacks on factories that made such seemingly
crucial components as ball bearings, and even attacks on aircraft
plants, were sadly useless. With plant and machinery relocation and
more determined management, fighter aircraft production actually
increased in early 1944 after major bombing. In the cities, the random
cruelty and death inflicted from the sky had no appreciable effect on
war production or the war.
