What is interesting about this thread is what is not being discussed, namely that as part of the restructuring of Iraq the US is in the process of selling off Iraqi companies/organizations that have until now been state owned.
While it is true that many of these companies would be privatized at some point this privatization should take place once there is an Iraqi government in place.
Essentially the US has put Iraqi services up on the block. Sadly when the Iraqis eventually take over the administration of their own country they will find that much of it is owned by foreigners.
This is not a good thing. There is no need to rush to privatization. Why not just wait until the Iraqis have taken charge?
