Iraqi Chic: Crackpot Idea #MLXVIII

So, while not sleeping last night, I had the following idea:

The Iraqis need money and jobs. Americans have money and are currently enamored of Iraq and the [knock on wood] emerging Iraqi democracy. Now, the U.S. governement and its parent company, Halliburton, haven't exactly been doing the best of all possible jobs of getting money and jobs to Iraqis.

Anyway, if somebody--perhaps some charitable and talented-at-such-tasks Americans--could come up with some cool Iraq-o-centric tee shirt (etc.) designs, and/or provide some money to some Iraqis to help them start making the items, I think Americans would buy 'em. You know, "proudly display your solidarity with Iraqi Democrats" or somesuch thing. Be better if the Iraqis could do it all themselves, but they'd probably need at least a bit of help. Maybe the DNC or MoveOn or somebody could do something like this.

Um, given the current political tone in the States, one does worry that the right wing would try to "own" such items, but, well, we shouldn't let them do so. Hell, they've already taken over the American flag...they don't need the Iraqi flag, too.

Anyway, there's the idea.
