Are you calling for an end to all foreign investment, and a recall of all visas in every country in the world or just Iraq?
I know many Americans in the Oil patch here in Calgary that might find your views somewhat extreme.

Invest all you want. I'm just suggesting that maybe you don't have to have your government invade their country first. I thought it was fairly obvious what I was suggesting... but apparently there was some confusion.
I think that if the main objective of the invasion was really to liberate and help the people of Iraq, then it would be better for the people of Iraq to be trained so that they can rebuild their own country with money from oil that they drilled.
Of course I don't think that all foreign investment should halted. And I think its absurd that you would interpret what I wrote as that. Give your head a shake Bingo, I wasn't trying to insult your oil buddies.
So leave them be and hope they get their oil fields up on their own, perhaps in the year 2026?
They should be in really good economic shape by then.
And when do you think the people are going to be in really good economic shape at this rate? I'm sure that all the oil companies are going to just step aside once the people of Iraq are ready to take over production.
