IRAQ War, 2003-2011 ,WAR reparations ,WAR damage compensation ,HUMANITARIAN assistance ,MILITARY policy ,DEMOCRATIZATION - Abstract
In the end, the United States-led invasion of Iraq, now reaching its zenith with an occupied Baghdad largely intact, was a unique 21st century production--part high-tech war, part hunkering down in the face of determined guerrilla attacks. America's weapon of choice was the satellite-guided munition, Iraq's the rocket-propelled grenade. As 'BusinessWeek' went to press on Apr. 9, Saddam Hussein's fate was unknown. But despite some last-ditch resistance from urban militias, one thing was clear in a chaotic Baghdad: Scarcely three weeks into a furious U.S.-British blitz, victory in Iraq is assured, and it will be faster, cheaper, and more decisive than many imagined. Military officials caution that it could take months to secure the far reaches of the country. U.S. President George W. Bush is fortunate that a war that began so inauspiciously on the diplomatic front unfolded with lethal precision on the battlefield. But now he must cope with the fallout from America's intervention -- in the region, and among deeply estranged allies. In the enormously challenging days ahead, the President must prove that the postwar world can be made safer and more prosperous after the last Saddam statue is pulled down. The U.S. must secure the peace in Iraq -- an uneasy period that could be marked by suicide attacks, car bombings, and ambushes. It must promote democracy in the region, despite cries from the Arab Street that the war was inhumane. It must repair ties to allies and a collaterally damaged United Nations and NATO.

The article discusses the concerns over proposed deals to purchase U.S. telephone companies by the German corporation Deutsche Telekom (DT). The German government has a 58% stake in DT and all its acquisitive talk has set concerns in the U.S. Though many telecommunications executives dismiss the moves as political grandstanding, they may have cause for concern. State-owned firms are de facto subsidized, giving any U.S. subsidiary unfair advantages in the domestic market. U.S. policy has encouraged privatization. Letting state-owned companies buy U.S. companies would reward anticompetitive behavior.

The article focuses on the possible acquisition of a U.S. telecommunications company by Germany-based Deutsche Telekom. For years CEO Ron Sommer has been promising a U.S. acquisition that would catapult the German ex-monopoly to the top ranks of the global telecommunications business. Now it looks as if he finally has a chance to make that vision come true. Among the possible takeover candidates are Sprint, WorldCom, Qwest Communications International Inc. and AT&T. However, there are perils for Deutsche. A U.S. acquisition will plunge the company into a market where it has little experience and where the rules are much different from those in Europe.

By bidding for China's Harbin Brewery Group, Anheuser-Busch Cos. threatens to snatch a choice asset from London-based SABMiller PLC, which owns a minority stake in Harbin. At the very least, SAB faces a bidding war that will force it to pay as much as $500 million to defend its turf in China. The mainland is a must for any global beermaker, but that's still a lot of money for any brewer to sink into the Chinese market. It's probably coincidence, but the battle in China comes as SAB's Miller Lite is gaining on Anheuser's Bud Light in the U.S. Still, the rivalry in China shows how fiercely megabrewers are competing as the fragmented global beer market consolidates. No one doubts SAB's ability to go one-on-one with St. Louis-based Anheuser, which has almost half the U.S. market. Since the former South African Breweries PLC began breaking out of its home base a decade ago, it has used acquisitions to build beverage revenues fivefold, to an estimated $12.6 billion. SAB'S boldest move was buying Milwaukee's Miller Brewing Co. from Philip Morris Cos. in 2002. The $5.6 billion price was seen as high, given that top-selling Miller Lite was in decline. But the beer is back following a management shake-up, redesigned labels, and ads that capitalize on the low-carb craze.
