Let&amp;#x27;s say 19% for the first 10 years, then 15% for 10 more, then 12% for the next five.&lt;p&gt;Based on those fudged figures, we&amp;#x27;ll convince the government to take on excessive debt to pay for water development, etc. projects. Since the figures are fudged, and since we&amp;#x27;ll do this hand in hand with local elites &amp;#x2F; kleptocrats, they&amp;#x27;ll never be able to repay the debt.&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#x27;ll funnel this money right back to Western consulting and construction firms.&lt;p&gt;When locals who are having their lives destroyed by the development projects start to demonstrate, we&amp;#x27;ll squeeze them until they turn to violence and call them terrorists.&lt;p&gt;When the real international terrorists join in to fight the evil imperialists (us), we&amp;#x27;ll drone-strike, death-squad, and black-site them, citing our earlier failure to act in Sudan.&lt;p&gt;Can you tell I&amp;#x27;ve been reading _Confessions of an Economic Hitman_? I am excited about the new iPhone, though.</text></comment>
