The US has said it wants to rebuild Iraq and change the state of mind of the Iraqi population. While whether its possible or not is not the question. The question is, how does banning Jews from helping in what the US wants to do going to achieve the aim of the administration, if the population continues to hate Jews and Christians, as well, looking at them as inferior people and who they must murder?

Not really banning Jews is it? American Jews I suppose are allowed to participate.

Is there anything in these Apartheid laws that prevent American Jews from employing Israelis in their enterprises in Iraq?

First of all, cultural logic should tell you that Israel's involvement would only incite the Iraqis in an already volatile situation. As far as the textbooks go, for now they removed "any content considered 'controversial', including the 1991 Gulf War; the Iran-Iraq war; and all references to Israelis, Americans, or Kurds". According to this story, "until curricula can be properly revised - which could take years - it will largely be up to individual teachers to decide either to ignore many historical events or to make their own judgments about what and how students will learn about their past". In other words, they did what they could in the time that they had and plan more revisions future textbooks as they are produced. Sounds reasonable to me.
