Coalition of the Generous
Late last year the Congressional Research Service set out to quantify international contributions to the rebuilding of Iraq, and found that some of the biggest checks have been written, or at least promised, by Iraq's neighbors. Kuwait has donated $1.5 billion to the reconstruction effort, making it second only to Japan among nations other than the United States; and Saudi Arabia, with pledges and loans of around $1 billion, matches the United Kingdom for the third largest contribution. Significant aid has also flowed in from Qatar, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. As for the European countries that opposed the war, Germany has donated $155 million—whereas the French have put up only $10.7 million, barely edging out the $10 million donation from … Iran.
