Who will rebuild Iraq?
The USA, Iraq, coalition partners and other force contributing nations will rebuild Iraq according to US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. Those who will not be allowed to bid for rebuilding contracts are companies from countries opposed to the conflict that deposed Saddam Hussein.
It's thought that the move is likely to anger France and Germany but they always seem to be angry with the US so I don't suppose it makes much difference.
Let's face it, success in Iraq for the coalition will anger them; failure in Iraq will anger them; failure of the EU project to 'balance imperialistic US power' will anger them; failure of the EU army to compete with NATO will anger them; any failure of Britain to ratify the EU constitution will anger them; Israeli fences that keep out terrorists anger them; new world wine angers them........
