Paying the Price: Compensating Iraq

After nine years of war, the U.S. has finally done the deed and left Iraq, or at least what remains of it. Now that we can say with almost certainty that weapons of mass destruction did not actually exist in Iraq or were being produced there, will the US and its allies apologise? Well, that would be a start. A better start however, would be an apology that comes in the form of reparations.

Iraq would certainly have a strong case to present to the UN if it decided to demand reparations. 740,000 war widows, millions of orphans, the destruction of historic sites, the disruption of Iraqi oil production and its economy, the torture and killings of Iraqi prisoners of war, the journalists killed by U.S. forces, the displaced Iraqis, the Iraqi refugees and illegal American private contractors.
The lack of police and security forces as well as professors and doctors have contributed to a state of lawlessness in Iraq. Reparations are unquestionably needed. The International Coalition For British Reparations suggested that (as calculated by Congressional Appropriations) Britain alone should pay $282 billion, in reparations to Iraq.
