I wonder if we offered to let the UN take over the oil resources, and they then created a permanent fund like the state of Alaska and distributed profits to all Iraqis...would the Iraqis be happier? What if we gave Iraqis the jobs rebuilding their own infrastructure which they are perfectly capable of doing?
It seems to me that if the Iraqis felt they were treated fairly, were given the profits of their own resources and given control over their own country, if they were truly liberated of American Occupation forces, Sadr’s militia will put down their arms and only a small peacekeeping force would be needed, not the 130,000 coalition troops of today.
Sadr has stated that his militia will accept a peacekeeping force "made up of muslim countries or countries that did not join the coalition such as Russia, France or Germany." Perhaps if the truth were made clear, muslim countries will step forward to help.
It is time for an international dialogue on how to start the real repair of Iraqi society and set the healing in motion.
