That's not true. No one in europe regrets that Saddam was removed from power, and there was hardly anyone complaining when he was executed, in spite of the european view on the death penalty.

To get back to topic, in the end I think Iraq will have to pay for the reconstruction, and fortunately they will have the money. Oil exports will open up a whole lot of new opportunities, and there will be lots of international support, so in that respect it doesn't look so bad I think. |
I agree here. Iraq is oil rich. From what I hear, their electricity is free. If anything, perhaps the US will see returns in oil at better prices then the US is seeing now per barrell
