<div>So after the US, with backing from Blair's UK government, overthrew a dictator in Iraq to ostensibly promote human rights, democracy and freedom, Chinese interests operating under a one party human rights abusing dictatorship gain rights to Iraq oil? Of course, as long as China is complicit in offering its cheap captive abundant labor to facilitate multinational corporations to make billions, the US, a nation controlled in large measure by the interests of multinational corporations, might not be inclined to resist China's need for energy that will power the very industries in China that the multinational corporations are making a killing on. And where will this wealth flow in the US? Primarily to the top 1 percent, is my guess: </div>
