The white house is dense. The U.S. has been spending 8 billion a year
just to improve Iraqi infrastructure so foreigners might invest in a
place with no law and order. The infrastructure is in desparate need of
repair from war, sabotage, crime, and neglect.

Bush needs to put aside his bias against socialist programs, in a state
which was socialist under addam, and inaugurate WPA and PWA type
programs tp put Iraqi idle minds and hands to work now. This would
immediately put money into the hands of spenders. It would give Iraquis
a stake in the future of Iraq.

Halliburton, Kellog, Brown and Root, et al can`t do it. They aren`t
Iraqis. We`ve been unable to enforce law and order and won`t until it is
clear to be in the best interest of Iraqis to maintain law and order.
