I would have thought that oil is about the only resource the country has. You had referred to Europe's vested intrest in Iraqi oil. I responded with the question of who controlled the resources now. I refer to oil as almost sole resource. The billions of dollars in contracts to rebuild the country we bombed into the stoneage have gone to massive US companies. America then gets the UN to remove sanctions on Iraq and oil production overseen by the USA funds the repairations. Not to mention the haliburtan and subsidiaries fuel deals from Kuwait and feeding the forces and so on. This war has been of tremendous benefit to the Bush cronies. Not so good for Iraqi casualties or US personel but VERY profitable for the select group of Bush family friends.
