Average wages in Iraq are $60 a month, $720 a year, call it $1000.
There are 27 million Iraqis.
Give every one $1000, which totals $27,000,000,000.
US GNP 11,000,000,000,000.
Total expense 0.25% US GDP

Cost of the war so far $200,000,000,000.
Per month $9,000,000,000

Everybody wins.

Saying, just for the argument, that it would work; that they would all agree to take the money and "be good" for it...
That would be bribery, and we all know bribery is immoral...
