My impression (which may be false) of the rebuilding is that the focus is on what war profiteering contractors should be involved, rather than energizing and empowering the Iraqi people to rebuild their own country. Why not build Iraqi responsibility, administration, instrastructure, and "pride in workmanship" all at the same time. Sort of an "Iraq First" program where even the raw materials if possible should be "Built in Iraq". You aren't likely to make many Iraqi friends when you blow up something they just built.

A lesson for all aggressors.
