1. I'm assuming this is in reference to Iraq |
|
in which case I'd say that after the US has restored some form of stability, and paid to repair every single building , structure, etc that was damaged in any way, and paid say 1.5 million per death, plus all the medical bills for everyone injured, plus maybe 750 thousand for pain and suffering each then maybe an additional bill of perhaps 50 thousand per family in Iraq they can perhaps call it even - except for the war crimes trials.

3. Do you really think the US capable of rebuilding a single hut |
|
without siphoning off as much oil as we can while "re-building"?
I don't... Remember that this was a Democratic and Republican war. Who would you trust to rebuild without stealing? I can't think of many. I can only think of one and he's nowhere near having a real say.
Even if it wre possible, the Iraqis would never ever trust us. Any credibility we had is kind of shot.

last people on the planet I would trust to fix anything. By the Con and DLC logic, arsonists should run rampant as long as they claimed the firebombings were intended to fix things.
