18. After the U.S. military leaves Iraq, and the resulting Iraqi government
invites the Peace Corps in, then this will be a good idea. But to bring in the Peace Corps while the military occupation is ongoing would be a disaster for the Peace Corps - they would just be seen as the happy propaganda face of a three faced occupation, with the military being the occupation face and a U.S. corporations being the exploitation face.
Western imperialism used to use missionaries for this same purpose.
