Hi KyrosL; Re: "Iraqi reparations will be postponed indefinitely, or at least until we leave." Can you give me a reference for this? I doubt that it's true, any more than rumors that France wasn't going to get paid back were true. Re: "At roughly $1000 per person per year it can buy a lot of goodwill, provided it's spread around fairly." The per capita GDP in the US is around $30,000. Saudi Arabia has a per capita GDP of $10,600. Anything less than the Saudi amount will leave people in Iraq convinced that the US is stealing the difference. -- Carl
