Loan Funds but DO NOT Give Funds to IRAQ

This petition was published by Ardd on Nov 14, 2003

The petitioners strongly encourage elected officials to ensure any funds earmarked as post war aid for Iraq be allocated in the form of loans as opposed to gifts.

Iraq is among the richest countries in the mid east in natural resources and should be able to repay any funds that American taxpayers are asked to send in the form of aid. Allow the Iraqi people the dignity of a loan to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure as opposed to US charity. Aid in the form of loans encourages accountability, where and what our tax money has been spent on and who will pay it back. Gifts receive a lower level of scrutiny as no one expects the money back. Reconstruction loans will help encourage cooperation among nations, giving other nations from around the world a stake in the future peace and prosperity of Iraq.

Please require any further aid to Iraq to be in the form of a loan and ensure that every penny of the taxpayer's funds are accounted for and re-paid.
