| Iraq has one of the most corrupt governments in the world, and is unsafe for NGOs. It would be incapable of getting much good out of reparations at the moment. The people with the power to would parasite the money and who would we use to deliver it-the only people we could use would be our troops, yet I have a better idea.
The US should pay reparations to humanity for what it did, and give the money to a country which will make good use of them. We are to blame for hundreds of thousands of deaths, so lets save hundreds of thousands lives, but the sad reality, is that we have no way of saving hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives.
Nevertheless, 40,000 people die of preventable causes a day, and most of them aren't Iraqi. |
