...reconstruction of Iraq should take place under the auspices of what Bush termed “the coalition of the willing.” The coalition began a war in Iraq without support or approval of the United Nations (U.N.). It must now bear the financial and technical burden of rebuilding the country it conquered. American and British troops are already on the ground in Iraq, and it makes sense for them to lead the immediate reconstruction effort. Waiting for a U.N. force to be assembled and shipped to the Middle East would cause a potentially damaging delay in returning...

There are three ways that Iraq can finance its redevelopment; international aid, new debt and oil. The U.S. has earmarked only $2.4 billion over the next six months for Iraq and most other nations are still holding out on aid, except for the most critical humanitarian needs, until they see how the U.S. will administer Iraq...
