Over at talkingpointsmemo.com, I saw a quote that was unbelievable enough I wanted to post it here. The Washington Post, describing an interview with Paul Bremer, notes:

Among his biggest accomplishments, [Bremer] said, were the lowering of Iraq's tax rate, the liberalization of foreign-investment laws and the reduction of import duties.

You need to have a maniacal faith in conservative ideology to believe that lower tax do much good in the face of a rapidly disintegrating security situation.
