Some people may be concerned about using an Iraq War "peace dividend" for financing an Iraq Marshall Plan because they are so badly in need, in their own financially pressed communities or states, of whatever peace dividend money there may be. So there is urgent need for research on the net early peace dividend payout to the U.S. from the "Marshall Plan" financial investment in the recovery effort.
Once it is determined what the magnitude of such financial commitment is established, it then becomes a matter of determining the source of such funds. In considering this, it is worth bearing in mind the extreme levels of waste in the Defense budget, such as reported in a recent GAO report (see analysis or the original (4.5Meg) original), and the fact that a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy away from an interventionist approach would reduce the need for significant portions of that budget.
