#3 Electricity, clean water, and working sewers convert more Iraqis to the cause of peace than anything. If they can then get jobs, they actively turn against the bad guyz.

#5 Reminds me of the old engineering joke:

What's an electrical engineer?
One who designs the electronics for your F-16.

What's a mechanical engineer?
One who designs the metal skin and engines for your F-16.

What's a chemical engineer?
One who designs your jet fuel and weapons for your F-16.

What's a civil engineer?
One who designs the targets for your F-16.
