<<U.S. Dangles a Carrot: Opportunities in Iraq The agencies of nations that contribute troops or funds to the postwar effort would 'get in on the ground floor,' an American official says.>>> The job in Iraq will be completed despite impediments Iraq will become the kernel of the USA (United States of Arabia). Iraq has had success in the past with great engineers , businesses and planners. Will bring new ideas, some Western efficiencies in agriculture,construction, materials. Trade will develop with neighboring countries with an exchange of workers and integration of cultures. Beginning perhaps, with Turkey and Iran (Kuwaitis dont have to work, Syrians need some changes first)) An inestimable value in money and trade with vast potential. Enough that the US does not need to get any profit or repayment for our war expences, that money will be returned from future trading in the area. Coke, Pepsi, wireless phones and ground stations, technology of all types. France can decide whether to participate or not, they are at this time losing a reputation for aiding troubled countries or civilians by refusing to support any Iraqi operations- even keeping the Indians from helping by refusing to back a UN resolution approving support for Iraq. They made their point, sent no troops, provided no funds, hampered the formation of a Coalition- in hopes perhaps of salvaging their oil contracts with Saddam. So they proved they cant or wont fight, now we find out if they even want to work or trade. If they decide not to work Mr Chirac can end their fears of having to work by declining the invitations being extended. Go back to the vineyards and past traditions. . Germany, Russia, China, and Spain and other modern (g) nations will be happy to have the work. . Sig .
