no one knows how many iraqis have been killed since the invasion. the mits range from more than one hundred fifty thousand to over a million. for years the u.s. claims not to keep a body count. but there are some six thousand graves in this cemetery learn where the grief seems impossible to bury. early shock a saddam's mother died during the violence in two thousand and four his brother is buried here in the section reserved for those killed by u.s. forces. and of course we are. in the huddle too little to follow from the front of allah to call for. a new look in the heart a lot of be. unmovable. i thought and i don't know what i thought enough. these were the people the u.s. military expected to welcome them. but they soon made enemies of people like allie and his family. what. but then. if i thought i should be. ok if it's. ok for. a living a job it could be him in america they think this is over. here. who. think. that you don't want to. his followers listens to him deliver some of his most incendiary sermons against the occupation here in his ba

and for more on the iraqi donor conference i'm joined by felix knight got c.e.o. of the german chamber of commerce in the gulf states he joins us in kuwait good to have you with us and when we see those images of devastation in iraq it is very hard to imagine that those broken cities could ever be rebuilt again certainly not in the future you'll that what hope do you have for iraq. well i participated yesterday in the business day in the frame of this iraq conference in kuwait and this took place in the hotel and the ball room was literally packed with hundreds of business people so the interest on behalf business on behalf of john business definitely there and iraq definitely has business cases it's huge construction needs on the one hand but on the other hands it's on the third or fourth in the world so there is at least in the long run there will be a loss of revenue to cover part of this ok so there are huge needs no doubt and there is business interest you are telling us but iraqi officials say that they will need some eighty eight billion dollars to rebuild

government and militias affiliated with the iraqi government. and their conditions. be bad because of the actions of the iraqi government many of the internally displaced people are taken through screening procedures what families are separate. to many of them of address to the suspicions of collaborating or walking for isis that are tens of thousands of their archy's who have been addressed to the last few years with no due process with no access to turning. mostly based on a tip from an informant or other suspicions so there are some government is definitely a part of the problem in many cases it is the reason behind the problem and reconstruction effort that was promised has not even started in many cases tell me about outside influence and i'll also ask you imran about this after we heard from the raid and specifically talking about iran. amnesty has not commented on the politics of what's going on in iraq this in three to four months or a mandate i mean i can say from from a person and point of view that many of iraq's neighbors have been i

is destroyed first by a group of non-state actors that came in took over the city and then by the iraqi authorities and i should say even before that it was destroyed by force of those that invaded iraq i think they have not only a moral but also a legal obligation to be involved in its reconstruction but i think that it is one of the most striking examples where the allies who have been engaged in violence against the people there for more than two decades have really forgotten the people that the allegedly were coming to save or at least to assist and i think that if we're going to have any sense you already have any credibility in the like to call humanitarian interventions they need to be humanitarian in those instances and ensure that the people are provided a better life than what they had before in this case that has not been the case and i think that's quite unfortunate and shows a political is a sure. thing in iran now human rights watch is reporting that hundreds of families are being forcibly displaced the great claim iraqi officials are running up people suspected of having

well century the iraqis just got what is mostly a thirty billion dollars line of credit some of that is grants but the bulk of it is loans but that's essentially what they need to jump start the process i think in some ways the eighty to one hundred billion dollar figure is a little deceptive the iraqi economy couldn't absorb that much money if it were dumped on it all at once but this is going to have you have right now in fact and the eighty billion dollars outlines of credits as some people might say in particularly from countries like the united states which has arguably played a part in the downward spiral off of iraq since the occupation of the country and we understand that the u.s. wants a lot i think aid right now but in fact it's just pledged a credit line three billion dollars in credits. that's right most of this money is is credit in the iraq is going to have to rebuild itself and eventually pay back this money but again it gives it the line of credit it's going to need to jumpstart the rican brought the reconstruction which will then allow the private sector to follow u
