Why The $20 Billion Should Be A Grant (Oct 18 2003 08:52 GMT) - It's late and I'm not up to a full thrashing-out of this issue, but just say I'm one of those who favors making the Iraqi rebuilding money a grant rather than a loan. Spoons has a good detailed post on the issue and makes a valid point: it is NOT treasonous to suggest that the money be in the form of a loan. I'm surprised that has to even be mentioned, but Spoons can take comfort in the fact that people usually resort to charges of treason to close off debate, whether they win or not. My reasons are the one's Spoons listed, with the exception of gratitude. |
