Having air routes link Iraq to the rest of the world provides a great deal towards developing businesses of their own. It's very similar to building highways, providing electricity, etc. It helps their infrastructure which in turn helps business establish in Iraq, of which Iraqis work at and take home pay to buy goods and services for their basic needs.
So in your view what does provide the basic needs for the people of the South? Socialism? Continuous handouts from the first world? How could a Brazilian oil and gas company provide the basic needs for their country? Is it by having a nationalized oil company that funnels its' profits to the Brazillian government for redistribution to 'average joe's' making minimum wage?
