I agree, Iraq should spend it's own money on jump starting it's entrepreneurs and rebuilding it's infrastructure but they so far have proven they can barely get a budget bill passed, let alone actually spend the money and spend it wisely. For a report only a few months old read here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123565319808181881.html They don't have $100B just sitting around and are cutting their budget... - KellyC Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:53:14 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/a-jump-start-for-iraqs-private-sector.htm#comment-19427 Woah, finally someone puts out a plan that sounds great.
