Supporters of the insurgency are happy to plant a roadside bomb in exchange for extra cash. Instead of focusing on a large jobs program, the US could do more to bring peace to Iraq by reducing the money from Iraqi government coffers and smuggling activities that funds the payrolls of the insurgents and militias.
许多伊拉克年轻人加入民兵是因为那里有钱。他们手持枪支游逛要比在工地打工或者做手艺挣得多。叛乱的支持者们乐意埋设路旁炸弹来换取更多的现金。美国不应当在大型的就业计划上花费精力。它可以通过减少从伊拉克政府的国库的金钱以及资助叛乱份子和民兵的走私活动来给伊拉克带来和平，这样反到可以事半功倍。
