The United Nations has more than $20 billion in its Iraq oil for food account. If we get Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to forgive Iraq's war reparations, most of that money could be used for reconstruction. If the UN is not involved, the money will just sit there under UN control, and the US will have to foot the entire reconstruction bill.

JJ, In your opinion, is this reminiscent of the day the Berlin Wall came down? A great day but no one could be certain about the future. US will be determined to make this work post war in the same way we were after WW2 with the Marshall Plan. I dont have a clue as to how it will work exactly or who on the iraqi side will emerge. Time for a prayer and continuation of that infectuos US optimism that drives the post WW2 world. Mike
