STATE OF NATURE. Scrappleface identifies the nature and causes of the wealth of Iraq. Betsy's Page points to a Thomas Friedman column that cites an Iraqi who may have come up with the Quote of the Week (and it's only Sunday): "That's why there is a dramatic gulf now between Iraqis and a lot of other Arabs. Young people here want to move on. In 10 years, this will be a very different place. If I can be a part of it, it will be like Hong Kong or Korea — but with an Iraqi face." Getting the institutions right will be a big part of that.
