The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: THE NATURE OF GOVERNMENT
As American troops prepare to pull out of Iraq the country might be in the best condition in years. Open to the rest of the world after the removal of Saddam Husein, and settling into a post war peace means concerns about cucumbers and parking are growing and violence shrinking. However, the threat from Iran remains. It might be noted that Iran and Iraq have long been tense neighbors. While some Iraqis may want a continued American presence in the country, it isn't clearly beneficial or necessary. American power in the region should be enough to prevent Iran from provoking any real trouble, and minor problems can be handled by Iraqis. The presence of American troops on the other hand continues to provide fuel to elements that don't like America and don't want to see democracy in Iraq.

Monsanto are corporate criminals. What happens against farmers is not an accident when Monsanto is involved! Farmers worlwide are suffering irreversible debt because of this corporation. People can live without clothing for the most part. We can live without buying homes if we are able to build rudimentary shelters. We cannot live without food and water. If corporations own our seeds and clean water supply, they own us. Monsanto is not at all affected by hundreds of farmers committing suicide.
