Oh come on the New Deal in america worked incredibly well, we could do something similar there.
secondly, that is exactly my point with regard to decimation, to do as the romans, put the fear of god into them while dramatically improving their lives. While they may have had many of those things before, they havent for some time and especially if you show them that even better things are coming, they will buy into it.
No, my idea with regard to creating Iraqi subsidiaries was to jumpstart the creation of a critical mass of large companies equipped to manage the oil fields, infrastructure and provide utilities. First we start by awarding contracts to US companies to do it, then we have them create Iraqi subsidiaries to manage them, then spin those subsidiaries off while creating a stock market to put shareholder ownership into the hand of the Iraqi people. The US companys profit during each step of the way so it would be win/win for everyone. I could even see "rewarding them" with a minority stake in the companies so that they could continue to profit from them into the indefinite future.
