Thanks Yota...Opening the automated booking through Visa Card if fine and good...but I'm still missing the point of how Iraq can deal in international commerce without having an international currency...Iraq has to comply with Article VII through the UN and WTO before they are allowed to return to international commerce...I would think international flights would be considered under international commerce...
