Well - if they get the same treatment as Japan and Germany....who knows, in a few years time they might be the powerhouse economy of the Gulf. Stranger things have happened...

Re: post war IRAQ

well, since the avg. income is about $2.00 a month<br />a good job would be $ 50/week? no that's GREAT!<br />more CHEAP labor for sale.... good for them,<br />bad for certain folks. much cheaper than drillin'<br />in Alaska by far...<br />not a cause IMO but an effect.<br />CYA,<br />M.Y.

Re: post war IRAQ

It might not be so bad and he didn't really say who was paying, did he?<br /><br />Iraq has a cr*pload of oil and not much to spend the money on, other than rebuilding their country, (literally) from the ground up.<br /><br />I saw a TV bit recently on the country of Qatar. It's so petro-rich, it's literally a la-la land, where nobody pays taxes, everybody works or goes to school. They are building the finest medical schools in the world, just to train local doctors.<br /><br />Maybe the Iraqi people can finally start swimming that all that "black gold"

Re: post war IRAQ

Sounds like we are treating this country better then our own. My education is so-so... My whole family has medical issues that are being put off because it is all simply outrageous. ($6000 for nothing more then 50 some stitches on a chainsaw cut) Anyone can get a job here but no one is given a high paying job. Personally I think we should work on our own country. Everything we do over there comes from OUR tax money, and is its a fair price then every bit Iraq gets better is directly proportional to every bit America gets worse. I think that the trillions they take from us should be given back, in the form of cash, or more likely in the form of a country worthy of such taxation! We have a long way to go ourselves before building other people a new country.<br /><br />BUT THEYVE GOT OIL.<br /><br />Craig

Re: post war IRAQ

There's surely some rhetoric to what the president is saying and rightly so.<br /><br />Many, including Iraqi's, are still worried that we are going to pull a 1991, only this time completely trashing their country, before saying bye-bye.<br /><br />It does not look like that going to happen this time, though.<br /><br />I just saw on 60 Minutes, where we are developing a ready-to-go Iraqi goverment/society and recruiting many Iraqi-Americans to go home and help implement it.<br /><br />This war is big stuff and the rebuilding of Iraq will be big stuff too.

Re: post war IRAQ

iraq is oil rich. It seems quite likely that THEY will use THEIR oil income to re-emburse the USA for the financial expence of the present freedom movement.<br /><br />Regardless, what i$ it worth to reduce the threat of another terror attack?<br /><br />Let's see what happens.

Re: post war IRAQ

i think whatever we have spent in liberating iraq will be refunded to us once the country is rebuilt. maybe in oil, or trade or in better deals in import/export tariffs. i don't know details, just generalizing here. <br /><br />i'm thinking it is necessary to help rebuild along with any other countries who want to reap rewards for being a business partner there. they will need alot of commercial construction help, not to mention the highways, enviromental & health related services. all opportunities to help them and bring $$$income to all companies involved. everyone knows they have the crude oil to pay for it, although probably after the fact.<br /><br />it seems we ought to be proud to be a part if/when they become a productive and independently wealthy nation of freedom & democracy. (lets hope anyway)<br /><br />it would bite if at that time, they don't remember & appreciate our country for the effort.

Re: post war IRAQ

I read some time back that we were going to use their oil to pay for rebuilding and the war itself. Seemed like a good plan to me. Havn't seen anything since. Guess the bleeding hearts killed it.
