Mesopotamian Oil Trust
ILLUSTRATED- Democrats have their model in discussing Iraq's future and why we can (mostly) get out.
Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Iraq's National Security Adviser has just given all Democrats a simple blueprint for an Iraq, that only Iraq politicians can forge for themselves. American soldiers, under General Petraeus, have done all they can to secure the country.
As stated before on this blog, Security + Oil$ = Political Deal. A viable polity needs security and an economy. American's need to help keep its territorial integrity and fight terrorists. Iraq's need to get control of their oil and make a deal themselves.
Iraq's federal government should mostly be an oil trust executor, with small ministries for defense, finance, and diplomacy. Everything else left to the provinces. I think conservatives are supposed to like that kind of political model. Also tell them this is forced responsibility like welfare reform.
