An Exit Strategy from Iraq

At this point in time it would be far to simplistic to say: "Full employment for Iraqis, Bring Haliburton home."  Iraqis are fleeing their own country by the thousand each month.  Destabilizing the nations that surround them.  Anyone with a tank full of gas and a piece of paper that allows them to enter a foreign Country is in retreat.

We can assume that includes the engineers and heavy equipment operators and any other person with a skill that will be necessary to repair and replace the infrastructure that underlies a civilized nation.  But, unfortunately, a nation that cannot provide employment for say, 90% of its population cannot provide security for its citizens.  Considering that every household is allowed one Kalishnikov rifle, what Iraq needs more than anything is something for its men to do besides use the Kalishnikov.
