Iraq flush with oil cash

Denver Post- October 25, 2008
Here near the end of the presidential campaigns the Democratic party has used the Iraqi oil money surplus as a target against the war in Iraq. They say Iraq should be paying for the war instead of building attractions and infrastructure in a country that has been oppressed and ravaged by war. One product of the Iraq war was to remove Saddam and the oil sanctions so the country can build like any other nation in the world. Under Saddam the budget was poorly managed and the country could not build any monetary surplus because of spending restrictions and UN sanctions. The US, UN, and other allies should help Iraqi officials manage the budget and help with rebuilding the infrastructure and attractions. Let Iraq grow with the help of the US, because really we put them in their place as of now.
