Focus for development has to be on delivery of new resources to the countrymen’s pocket. The oil and non- oil state’s earnings should be so implemented as to be materialistic earnings and benefits to the Iraqi people. The stress of severe poverty and crises which prompt the hungry to rally in the street have to be relieved.

The  chronic domination  of a specific faction by favoritism of kith , kin and relatives on funding resources and state’s facilities shall lead to rendering public budget and public interest a secondary matter compared to the money gained through bribery .

The implementation process of home reform policies is a necessity in the domain of patronizing total economic stability, i.e. implementation and patronage of civic society and open commercial systems.

The government’s failure at attaining the required level of executive performance prompts donor countries to direct their assistance via non- governmental organizations, as manifested in lost Asian countries.

However, the case in Iraq is different: some political figures, parties and individuals have established non- governmental organization as a pre – emptive step to take over such funds / money. Most Iraqi and foreign personnel of such organizations are not qualified for management of such an amount of the proposed funds of reconstruction due to various reasons , inter alias the cadre’s non- availability of scientific/ administrative qualification and  personal qualification represented by integrity / honesty .

There is a saying “He who is safe from punishment conducts himself with excessive insolence”.

 

On the contrary, the circumstances of the blockade and poverty led to initiation of creative capabilities for promoting projects and developing commercial qualifications. They created qualified, shrewd and resourceful individuals. They are qualified partners at feasibility studies and execution of investment projects. Iraq is qualified in the domain of facilitating the activities of regional and global companies which strive to access middle – eastern markets, setting up a portal to Asian, African and European countries and a regional center for wares distribution.

There is an ethical exigency at helping Iraq to integrate into global economy, represented by necessity for smashing old cartels and supporting emergence of new political and economic elite whose foremost loyalty is to Iraq. Hence, the ethical deterrent deep- rooted in personal ethical principles has to be consolidated. It is, in case of law transgression, stronger than any threat for punishment or any actual punishment.

 

PROCESS OF STATE CONSTRUCTION:

 A- Economically: Who funds expansion and reconstruction? How?.

Iraq suffers from merciless growth. This leads to boost the rich man’s money and make the poor man more miserable. It suffers, too, from growth without a future, with consequent drain of natural resources.

Formerly, it suffered from mute growth with consequent boosting of wealth due to secretions of merciless growth accompanied by oppression of the people.

All such factors shall lead, in the near future, to growth without opportunities, i.e.  Increase of national income, increase of non – employment. Subsequently, it would lead to rootless (growth which is marginalization process for the traditional identity and national culture).

 

What is required is human development targeted at enhancing security , expanding essential services, boosting production capacity and developing financial / monetary / judicial / administrative structures to activate the mechanism of free economy as well making available guarantees for foreign investment for purpose of integration into global economy . In effect, the process of pumping funds into a putrid vessel would be squandering of such funds because it would not reach its target. Consequently, it would not render the pumping actuator (whether a political or economic investor) would never render him to pluck the fruits of this task.     

Decayed   tissues are parasitic tissue that practically serve no national interest (even to the occupier) because it steals taxpayers’ money in the occupied country and in the donor countries, squandering it without positive returns to those countries.

The decline of the security status is a consequence of the mistaken policies of the American Administration in Iraq. The absence of the army , security organs and police organs led to creation of security vacuum which was exploited by other forces , rendering Iraq a field for international conflict and an arena for accounts settlement which , in turn , offered a pretext to occupation forces for non – abiding with its pledges of Iraq’s reconstruction due to decline of security status .

Iraqis themselves have to reconstruct their country without waiting for grants, with reliance on oil proceeds and auto- development of non- oil proceeds, without being subjected to donor countries’ humiliation.

The first step is to be towards creation of a private sector capable of later management of privatization process, and constructing the pivots of national economy in a modern method far from forfeiture into the traps and ploys of intercontinental / offshore companies.

Ambassador Bremer had already legislated for foreign investment, offering more rights to foreigners than to Iraqi citizens. This aroused a wave of protests. The legislation was frozen, because it was neither consistent with international law nor with the aspirations of the Iraqi people.

In March 2005, the provisional government (after two months of expiry of its validity) legislated for allowing foreigners to buy shares in Baghdad Stock Exchange. This is an illegal and risky measure because it would allow a definite number of foreigners to monopolize Iraqi companies’ shares due to its meager value in the market.

 

Therefore, we are in need of balanced investment laws to be approved by the National Assembly   and to be submitted to a popular referendum. It should provide an interim balance between the foreign investor and the citizen and legal guarantees the two parties’ rights until the private sector develops to be empowered to compete with foreign investor in the open market. Therefore, legislation are to be promulgated which do not offer tax facilitations and tax deductions to the foreign investor. Concurrently, enforcement is to be made, in the current stage, for legislations that do not give land proprietary right to the foreign investor. The state should expedite initiation of industrial and commercial free zones.

The formula, concisely, is:

 Honest / impartial and qualified state establishments + equable legal establishments + balanced, practical and developed laws + qualified local partner = Project’s success + construct of state’s economy + making available job opportunities.

Saddam’s policies used to murder the auto – incentive for knowledge, which was rendered a useless element in officiated progress due to favoritism, nepotism, bribery and courtesy / compliment at promotion to executive and leading positions . Learned youths became oriented to parasitic jobs which do not develop human capabilities and cognizance capabilities.

Support and development of human resources are more important than that of industries. What’s the value of industries without national cadre?

Construction process should proceed in accord with development of human resources, support of industries, and support of exports, establishing joint projects under licenses from major foreign companies and finding customs facilitations / customs deductions supporting this process.

We are is need of radical comprehensive reform process with integrated vision to cope with the scientific, knowledge-related and informational developments in the world as to contribute towards development of Iraqi human capabilities and development of the country’s resources as well as its industries, Because the non – employment of work force in Iraq = 80%, while that in the West Bank = 38% and in Gaza strip = 46%.
