9. Training ground
Iraq has not only become a training ground for "al Qaeda" and other insurgents, it is also a hands-on learning experience for private security armies, a central pillar of the corporatist militia-style approach so favored by the neocons.

Ask: where does this 100,000+ private army go post-Iraq? Dissolution of governmental military? Some other third world nation to spread more of their perverted action-movie violence? How about every street corner in America, and still as free from responsibility or justice as these murderous Blackwater jerks are in Iraq.
