      There's a book called "inside the emerald City" which details the politics of the "green zone" in Iraq during the occupation. It's wild how the few competent people in the state department were constantly ignored by the ghouls put in charge by the Bush administration.

      All they wanted was "some restraint" so they could build imperialism more effectively and politely but that wasn't even good enough.
