I have no opinion about their desire for a MacDonald's or WalMart. I merely assume that they want to attain a normal life and the fulfillment of normal aspirations. If this entails modernization, that is, the use of credit cards and orderly systems of accounting, then, yes, at the end of the day, I think that the Iraqis will be happy to carry credit cards and such. I am doubtful that the situation in most places has not improved, when even Time recently had an issue detailing otherwise. I would be interested in the sources of your assertions on that score.......
