I wonder what it will take to get the private citizens back in their banks.  I recall conversations where people we worked with didn't hate or like us.  We were just the next occupying force.  This is a country that has been fighting too long and has grown jaded.  Unfortunately for us, they know if they hold cash, they can leave when things get ugly and the banks are closed.  Maybe a permanent US base will bring in the people who are still sitting on the fence.  And yes, I would totally do a tour at a developed base in Baghdad.  Met a ton of awesome people who just wanted their lives back and would really enjoy seeing them again.
