Anyone know what this paragraph is referring to?
These policies include opening the Iraq economy to lucrative oil refining and private banking opportunities by American and British companies shut out of Iraq for three decades. Hundreds of Iraqi-owned enterprises have been shut down as Iraqis are being forced into the privatized world of the World Trade Organization.

What Iraqi enterprises is he referring to? Those run by Saddam's goons?

The last I heard, 84000 businesses had been licensed in Iraq, but lack of a modern banking system was a huge pain. Can you believe a New Deal for the world? Only a hippy who’s been smoking dope for 30 years would be advocating that.
