[mpisgmedia] Earth Future: Planet of the Slums

Tom Dispatch
- Nick Turse - So you think that American troops, fighting in the urban maze of
Baghdad's huge Shiite slum, Sadr City, add up to nothing more than a horrible
mistake, an unexpected fiasco? The Pentagon begs to differ. For years now, U.S.
war planners have believed that guerrilla warfare is the future -- not against
Guevarist focos in the countryside of some recalcitrant, possibly-oil-rich
land, but in growing urban "jungles" in the vast slum cities that
increasingly dot the planet.
