Anarchy as an instrument of foreign policy

I'm not talking about the "black bloc" wankers who wreck every otherwise legitimate demo here in the "West".

We all know those supposed anarchists tend to be 3/4 undercover cops and 1/4 misguided teenagers.

I'm talking about real-world anarchy like the US invasion created in Iraq and the NATO intervention created in Libya.

The anarchy that we created there prevents the machinery of civilization from functioning effectively. Everything from tax collection to garbage collection to routine policing goes down the toilet because the rule of law is no more.

Who benefits from this?

Well, we do. You'll notice that the only locii of law and order in either Iraq or Libya are the oil fields.

As long as there is law and order in the oil extraction industry we don't care what happens in the rest of the country.

Besides; keeping civil society and the state apparatus disorganized and weak prevents them from developing nuclear weapon programs.
