The Enemy Within ....

Interesting commnets.

Personally the more critical issue is grasping the extent to which the Credit Crunch as a criminal and parasitic enterprise , in some ways expresses the social essence of the Bush administration and the American ruling elite as a whole.

It seems that the crisis of world capitalism is behind the lurch to the right by the US political establishment, the virtual collapse of liberalism and the criminality of the present regime, from Enron to Iraq and now this mess.

I agree, but only as it applies to the USA and, by senseless aspiration, the UK. Liberalism is alive and well in Western Europe. In the main, the successful countries in W Europe have the same (evolved) as they have had for half a century: a centre-right that is liberal, not criminal; and a centre-left that is socially responsible but not anti-business.

Gooid point - and who could argue with that ?

Rather than reward these failed CEO's - I would prefer a showtrial as the actions of these CEO's are tantamount to financial terrorism.

It sounds mad, but then so does what happened on 911. It's all a bit Frederick Forsyth, but, hey, who knows? At any rate, the Beardies must be peeing themselves with laughter.
