Dickey--do you ever use your head? When somebody has a home there is no reason they should have to leave it just to be eligible for income from the country's wealth.   Your "solution" would have a "gold rush" to the oil-producing areas of Iraq--and I wonder if, in your infinite wisdom, you've considered the reaction of those who already live there. I'll clue you--they won't be so enthusiastic about your wonderful plan.

Fortunately, you have limited power--to say the least-- in determining Iraqi arrangements.

The Iraq parliament has already decided that oil income--in principle---is to be shared among all Iraqis. Whether the actual regulations will reflect this has yet to be seen, however.

But anybody who wants peace in Iraq can at least be happy that your great idea has been rejected.
