Who Will Own Iraq?

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Besides for US corporations, I mean.

The dinar is worthless; people are cutting them up
in the streets. Banks are being burned, all bank records
destroyed. By the time this is over, the people in Iraq
will have nothing except literally the shirts on their
backs (a few will also have furniture looted from
government offices). It won't be surprising,
in Baghdad at least, to find that all property records
have been destroyed as well, and that no one will be
able to prove they own a particular house or store.

Who WILL have money? Why, the people who haven't BEEN in
Iraq, namely, the exiles returning with their pockets
filled with dollars. So, totally aside from the fact
that the US will be putting those folks into positions
of power with the ability to accumulate money legally
or illegally in the future, in fact they will be able
to buy up the country for pennies (US) on the dinar
TODAY. Of course, without appropriate records existing,
who is going to SELL it to them is an interesting
question.

Is the destruction of the currency an accident? The
result of mindless activity of looters? Or a very
deliberate decision, perhaps even instigated by US
special forces? OK, NOW I'm getting conspiratorial.
