Umm-- if the government is "not to my liking" that probably means that the
reparations would be going into swiss bank accounts rather than to the
people of Iraq.  If they money would be going to the people of Iraq to
improve their lives, I support reparations.

Although a simpler demand for the left is to demand cancellation of all
foreign debts owed by Iraq.  No reason the people of Iraq should pay off
debts owed to Western companies and countries that built the weapons that
built up Hussein's power.

So I'll settle for two demand now:  Democracy in Iraq! Cancel all Foreign
Debt!
