Ace is right. It is the economy. The problem, Ace, is that you can't seem to see, or aren't willing to concede, that in order for the economy to be increasingly liberal, the levers of power must be held by those who will take care of the people first and their own corrupt selves second.
As has been pointed out, the economy in Iraq isn't neccessarily the problem. It's access to the benefits of that economy that is.
Healthy nations are ruled by laws rather than people. And the law needs to be impartially enforced, regardless of who breaks them.
Corruption and rule of law may be highfalutin mumbo-jumbo to you, but you've never lived in a place that doesn't have little of the former and plenty of the latter.
