Germany came out brand spanking new, clean and shiny and pretty much run the EU show and are actually playing back room politics with Russia, it's quite ugly to be truthful.
I think with Iraq, the rebuilding/reinvestment was seen on paper as a possible boon but they forgot to factor the disgruntled insurgents into the equation. There was a U.S Senator who suggested (after hearing of the huge mineral wealth of Afghanistan) that Afghanistan should pay the U.S back in trade for minerals.
