It should be done by the people within Iraq who want to live their life. Who care about their children and despise terrorists killing their babies and wives.
Don't forget, Iraq was a pretty secular country when Saddam was in power. I think this secular Iraq has a lot of potential.
Upcomming businessmen and women need to think about ways to spruce up their neighborhood. One way would be my building clubs near schools.
So you ask yourself, what happens if a terrorist suicide bombs a club? The kids in school get pissed off at these terrorists. They get more inspired to do what they can in school, socializing with the future leaders and workforce of Iraq to let them know its not cool to do what suicide bombers do.
What else can be done?
Muslim retreats where men and women discover their spiritual side with one another. They do icebreakers to know each other better. They are given a problem and they have to find a solution. They are taught about problems in society and how resilient people bounce back. At the end, there could be a dance for them to have fun.
Those are just some ideas.
ok, so you're talking about it coming about HONESTLY, as in, a needed part of society suddenly springing up when and where it is needed. sounds good to me.
