"Because liberty breeds prosperity" :rofl:

With yet another successful election, time may be running out to buy the New Iraqi Dinar before it hits the open market. It's now unbelievably affordable. The same amount that was once equal to over $82,000 can now be purchased for around $45. But, what happens when the oil really starts to flow?

What if?

Let's say you decide to err on the side of Iraqi prosperity. You take advantage of the 100 year low value and buy 2 million Iraqi dinars. You look them over, admire them, and show them to some friends as a curiosity. The security features alone will have them enthralled. Then you stick them in a closet and go about your life.

A few years from now, you see a program on A&E portraying the lives of average Iraqis. You see people drinking locally bottled, genuine Pepsi Cola; not the ersatz they'd been consuming for years. They are buying their cars from Baghdad Mitsubishi.

Any takers?

1. Well, that seems to suggest that many of the people in Iraq were once

pretty well off, and had normal, average, middle-class or upper-middle class lives.

2. Exactly. They did have lives like that.

But thanks to this idiotic war, they don't anymore.

What got me about that site is the notion that there are people thinking they're going to get rich by buying Iraqi currency and also the implication that in a couple of years all the bloodshed will be over and there will be a bright, shiny, thriving democracy in place in Iraq. Starbucks! Baghdad Mitsubishi! And so on...

3. Better yet, why will they have a higher standard of living than the US?

when their way of life, this luxury, will have been funded by the working class of the US?
