That is a hurt that only a Mother and Father can feel. Iraqie people have lost more than they have gained for hunderds of years. NOT just the last 2. When something like the Oil Dividend check comes in every month, when they did not have it while Saddam was in power. Saddam took all the oil money, and let his countries people go without.Qatari_ wrote:well they lost more than they have gained. you won't please a man who lost his son or home by giving him any amount of money.
I would say this proves a fact that the US isn't in there to take the Oil as it has been said.
I used to live in Alaska in 1999 and the Oil Dividend checks were paid out monthly to everyone including all the children too. It was about 900 US dollars a month for "each" family member. the more kids they had the money the Govenment paid out. So some familes were racking in up 6 to 7 thousand dollars a month.
BUT since Iraq has more Oil revenues the Iraqie people will get a lot more than what Alaska's Oil divedend checks are.... There are a few countries in the world that pay their countries people oil divedend checks. That is what I have read on some of the sites that are telling about it. This is a great thing for all Iraqie people.. Don't you think?
Take care...
Here is a great article on the Oil Dividend checks for every Iraqie, man/women/and child.

Iraq's annual oil revenue comes to approximately $20 billion. A postwar government could invest $12 billion a year in infrastructure to rebuild the nation. The other $8 billion could anchor an Iraq Permanent Fund, to be invested in a diverse set of international equities. The resulting income would go directly to Iraq's six million households. These payments would make a huge difference to families in a country whose per capita gross domestic product rests at about $2,500.
Establishing this fund would show a skeptical world that America will make sure Iraq's oil revenues directly benefit Iraqi citizens. By spreading capital broadly among new stakeholders, the plan would also prevent a sliver of Iraq's elite from becoming a new kleptocracy. Finally, the creation of an Iraqi oil fund could begin to help repair America's damaged image abroad — itself no small dividend at a time when many people remain suspicious about American motives in the Middle East.
Take care....
PS... I made a typeo error, I should have said the Oil Dividend checks are paid out to Alaska citizens yearly, not monthly... My mistake, just clearing that up.....
