President Bush said that $75 billion will be needed to rebuild Iraq. However, the Marshall Plan had a finite annual allocation of money for each step of reconstruction. In this case, there seems to be no end to when the reconstruction will be finished. There are some 130,000 American soldiers in Iraq. Mr. Bremer and his coalition should have involved Iraqi soldiers who did not fight against the US and by so doing, for every two battalions of the Iraqi military mobilised, one American battalion could go home. In this manner, the Iraqis would soon see that they were running their own country.
