Dan,
I hadn't thought about that. What you are saying is that if the US
spends money to build a road in Iraq and uses a US contractor to get it built
then we didn't give the Iraqis the road. And if we let Bethel (?) or someone
put out oil well fires because they are American the fires aren't out they are
still burning. Furthermore if an American company is paid to restore power in
Baghdad when they get more power in Baghdad than when Sadaam was in power then
because it is an American company they haven't done anything.
