Why?
Because.
Because there are ...
No Purists in D.C.
The Wolfowitz Agenda follows the strategy of McNamara. This is interesting.
First you make war and force impoverishment to develop.

Then with increased impoverishment comes disease which kills them in a way a war has no legitimacy.
DOES ANYONE see the PROFITS for pharmaceuticals in this strategy while lending foreign countries into insoluble debt?
Yeah, you betcha.
American profits at the expense of global wars and global lives.
Countries around the world need to build their own pharmaceutical plants while supplying jobs to their people. The countries that can should start their own research and development projects to address local needs that American Pharaceutical Companies have no interest in because there is no profit in it for them.
The world needs to realize they are not in good hands if they are depending on the USA to be their savior.

...Before the McNamara years, the poorest people didn't get much richer. But during the Washington Consensus years, they got poorer and poorer.
I saw how that could be possible when I became a shareholder in the French water company Suez, which took over the water system of Johannesburg, South Africa.
To get ready for privatization, South African communities followed the World Bank/IMF suggestion that water rates be raised so consumers would get used to paying the full cost. The water of many people was cut off when they couldn't pay their bills. In some places they started taking water from rivers. The result was a cholera epidemic.
