(Reuters) - Iraq’s capital wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The city’s government issued its demands in a statement on Wednesday that said Baghdad’s infrastructure and aesthetics have been seriously damaged by the American military.
“The U.S. forces changed this beautiful city to a camp in an ugly and destructive way, which reflected deliberate ignorance and carelessness about the simplest forms of public taste,” the statement said.

Epaminondas,
if the people of Iraq are going to choose an Islamic theocracy, I don't think we should give them anything. Even ignoring everything else, they'll probably end up using it against us in future.
I think that we need to sue them for $200 billion for removing their dictator. Then deduct the $1 billion as a symbol of compromise.
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama gave it to them and called it "Stimulus".
