Use of military force in Iraq is justifed -because, you argue, its only an extension of the capaitalist process defined by Nike sweatshops that allow you to buy cheap sneakers in the US?

While I agree that you can draw the link- directly in fact, between US interests in accessing cheap goods, labor markets and, dare I say, oil- via rampant capitalism or, by extension -diplomatic, economic and military force- where we disagree is over the basic presumption that your intersts (the American way of life is not open to negotiation, after all said GB1) may be obatined at the expense of Iraqis. Or Indonesians or Bolivians or Mexicans.

And while you maintain that they are, nothing will change.

I argued nothing of the sort.
