Finally some good ideas for Iraq

Getting Iraq to Work - WSJ.com: "The wages that these thousands of gainfully employed workers receive will be used to purchase goods and services that will employ other Iraqis. Those goods and services must be produced by still other Iraqis. These are the first steps in creating the requisite conditions of a stable functioning economy and the best hope of displacing retribution and violence with hope and opportunity."

A jobs program, along with a political and military solution, will do worlds of good for Iraq. What else would I like to see:

- An economic green zone. We have a political/military green zone, why not a safe place for markets, offices, warehouses, stores, factories, etc?
- Put Giuliani on the ground. He's a smart, effective leader - certainly one of the most competent to do the job. Although we can't tell the Iraqis how to run their country, there is a dearth of good ideas in Baghdad. It could hurt his chances to be president in 2008, but he's a bit of a long shot. However, if he turned things around in Iraq, he'd clean up.
