WTF is you people's definition of "rich"?
In my opinion, a country is "rich" when it has a high per-capita GDP, and relatively low per-capita external debt. Iraq is a loooooong way for having any of this, and the oil reserves and whatever money Saddam had stashed away isn't going to be enough to simply make it a "rich" country now that Saddam isn't running the country anymore.
