Solutions



The problem of the Iraqi economy is the economic mismanagement of the state relying on the oil sector financial resources and the adoption of privatization in solving most of the economic problems of the Iraqi economy suffers country.Security also a serious problem is the mismanagement of the oil sector, leading to major problems such as smuggling and weakness in the necessary growth in their sector. Iraq continues to spend about 5 million dinars to import 60% of the needs of petroleum products per year, due to outdated Iraqi refineries are operating at half capacity design. And floating in a sea of ​​oil, and has the third largest reserves in the world, after it announced the Iraqi Oil Ministry in October to increase oil reserves by 25 percent to 143.1 million barrels. Gulf War Iraq losses cost about $ 100 million and left the country after the heavily indebted, and the increase of the second Gulf War in Iraq problems of economic development followed by the economic blockade imposed on Iraq since August 6 , 1990-April 21, 2003


My solution to this problem is to privatize the oil company. I will star buying all of the oil company in Iraq. If there is no benefit of war then there is no reason to be a war. I think if people star privatize the oil company it will avoid a lot of war and save a lot of live. If we start doing that we should avoid lot of problems. Iraq needs your help !!

It is believed that ten hundreds of other people have been hauled off prisons and unknown detention facilities reminiscent of similar government crackdowns in the days and months immediately following the disputed June 12 presidential election. Those newly arrested join hundreds of their compatriots who have been languishing in 
detention facilities and prisons throughout the country

Today, the foods of Iraq reflect this rich inheritance as well as strong influences from the culinary traditions of Turkey and Iran and the Greater Syria area.  Because of all these traditions and complex influences, Iraqi cuisine is enormously rich and varied.

Traditions

On Christmas Eve, Iraqi Christian families gather
together and one of the children read about the birth of Jesus while other
family members hold lighted candles. Afterward the reading, a bonfire of thorn
bushes is let and everyone sings. If the thorns burn to ashes, good luck will
be granted for the coming year. When the fire dies, each person jumps over the
ashes three times and makes a wish.
