It might cause problems for the US, but it takes a lot to overwhelm the US. The US isn't going to spend $100bil on aid to Iraq, nor do I think that much is really needed. It might be needed to take care of all of Iraq's needs but it won't be needed to get Iraq to a better situation then it was before the war. It shouldn't cost that much to keep the people from starving, and to rebuild what we destroyed (considering that we will not be rebuilding the military or the presidential palaces.) Also the US treasury will not be the only source of rebuilding money. There is the $1.5bil of frozen Iraqi assets, Iraqi oil revenue (which should go up a lot), and Iraq will probably get some aid from other countries. Still the money that we will provide in aid will be one more strain on our budget which is already in the red. Tim
