#1 They realize that the Germans, Japanese, and South Koreans got a better deal than the South Vietnamese.

These people didn't go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc, but somehow figured it out what the faculties of each and everyone of those 'esteemed' institutions haven't.

To protect their future, I'd highly recommend they invest heavily in lobbyists for Washington, not Baghdad.

#3 Lots of sunnis in Anbar putting their lives on the line. I think it's a bit more than money - it's avoiding a total bloodbath, caught between the sunni Islamicists and the Shia.

#4 I'm being a bit cynical--maybe not rightfully so. I am hoping for the best in Iraq. There have been signs of progress lately.
