What's your source about 500bil debt of iraq? Your cia factbooks reports $62.2 billion and is the number i used for estimating the per citizen debt. Much of Iraq's debt is to countries in the former Soviet Union, with Russia as the biggest creditor. You were the one that made reference to iraqish debt and failed to see further.
My point was you can't work these things out with a calculator like you did. No matter what the outcome of the real debt estimations is, it doesnt make any change.

"I believe we will see a reconstruction of Iraq"

Have faith. I suppose this goes for Afghanistan as well right? I would like some of the experts to define me what the reconstruction will be....

"I think the war is about Terrorism, regional (ME) peace, Economy (oil as a partial only issue [there is much more than oil in the world's economy - such as industrial peace and quiet]), human rights, WoMD and much more."


You can't justify to me the war by using the word terrorism. As I said and i'll keep saying terrorism will be from now on the cause/mean for every movement the public has/must swallow. You need to understand it. By failing to understand it, you'll keep swallowing and one day your own personal security we'll be in real danger. When your kids will leave from the university they would study and one of the religious freaks as we call them blow a vanbus 50feet from them....then his problem will become yours. Who are these guys that post kill all muslims. When was the last time they spoke or dealt with one. What the fuck do they know? I'm a greek and although my country had war conflicts for centuries with turkey, a muslim country, I do not hate muslims. Neither my father was hating muslims, neither my grandfather.

Richard Herrnstein had predicted the upcoming conflict of west with the arab nations. Now he is not alive to see this happening. If you want to equate arab nations with terrorism, do it. Things like regional peace coming from a war do not touch me. You are missing many pieces of the puzzle for which reasons through time american is not the most welcome world traveler. I'll give you another reason some of the sources have been feeding the public the last decades: jealous. Everyone is jealous of the american way of life. Does it work for you? Sure it does for many.
