I remember reading about an Iraqi academic who lost his huge date-palm collection due
to the post-war looting.
He is a Kansas State U. grad, so hope he can get some "old school" help.

I think many Americans will be suprised at the rebound in education/science/engineering
in Iraq in the next decade.

I won't be surprised. Education is so very important, and people everywhere naturally crave it. I think a renaissance period in Iraq could be on the horizon.

The best result will be as the children in Iraq are raised with freedom, and they learn to take their freedom for granted, never having experienced the horrors of Saddam.
