Topic: Reflect on our discussion about Iraq, particularly the points noted by our speaker. Iraq is “branded” by war and oil, and very much wants to change that association. The country is still beset by violence, some directed toward Americans, but as of December 2021 the United States no longer has combat troops in Iraq. What the country needs most is economic and cultural assistance.
– your own research, propose as an Action Memo (template below) a recommendation for the U.S. Secretary of State that the U.S. start a new initiative in Iraq that would benefit Iraq either economically or culturally.
-This proposal must be specific to Iraq and have a specific purpose. This could be a new initiative, or a program already in place elsewhere in the world. Make your argument by showing quantifiably (with numbers) how your proposal would benefit Iraq and U.S. interests in Iraq. Make sure to note the potential costs (monetary and otherwise), additional staffing or resources needed, as well as any risks or downsides to the program.
Here are some suggested research starting points. You should find your own as well:

Example of an existing entrepreneurship program in Iraq, funded by the United States: The Station (link)
Important tips:
This is an action memo. You are asking that the Secretary authorize this program, and persuading him why it’s the right thing to do, even though there are costs and risks.
Consider in this situation: What does the Secretary already know? What doesn’t he know? Don’t tell him things he already knows.
This is a maximum of three pages.
This is a foreign policy paper, not an academic paper. You don’t need to show references or citations. However, you should use reference materials to develop your argument. Do not use Wikipedia.
