Iraq is very serious about moving forward to a free market economy. Once the security situation is more under control you will see things move quicker. I have even seen articles were they are talking about tourism. We are getting closer imo.

Weapons & equipment are only good if they have the will to fight!

[Texstorm]

You are so right GR ! That's what Americans always have had.......the will to fight ! Unless you are willing to die for your cause you have no reason to win. Patrick Henry said it best "Give me liberty or give me death ! ". Iraq must unify to have a country worth dying for, instead of a bunch of stone age tribes without borders.
