Is it possible to bring Capitalism to Iraq?

I am thinking about opening a Starbucks or a McDonalds or a Wal-Mart in Iraq..

would that be a better investment VS. our failed stock market?

Dude, that's a great idea!!!! Why didn't I think of that??!?

If you are able to open a McDonalds or something like that, then when all the jihadists and terrorists get tired of trying to kill American solders, then can come to your restraunt to have a nice Big Mac, a large fries, and maybe a milk shake! I can't think of anything that could go wrong with that plan!

Starbucks doesn't franchise, but I think McD's does. I would say go for it. Just remember its a Islamic country and they have strict rules governing the food they eat. Make sure you are compliant with those rules and you will be one step closer to rulling the world my friend!
Just don't forget us little people that helped you along the way!!

Good luck!

Our stock market hasn't failed, and if you know how to trade it, you can make money going up or down. Read some basic books on investing and trading, and you won't have to worry about bombs and bullets.

I trade ETF's and have written about it on my website.

acutally dude....they already had starbuck and mcdonalds in iraq; trust me i live in the middle east for 15 years. Oh, to be honest man, they have a bigger variety of stores(carrefour-french) over there than here in the states OR canada.
