AMMAN, Jordan -- An international trade fair that organizers hope will attract hundreds of businesses to Baghdad is being postponed for a month because of the amount of interest from the United States.

Raad Ommar, head of the Iraqi-American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or I-ACC, told reporters in Amman on Monday that the "Destination Baghdad Expo," or DBX, would now open in early April.

Sabotage, looting and guerrilla attacks on international organizations and hotels where foreign contractors stay have so far deterred major foreign investment in postwar Iraq.

But Ommar, in Jordan for an Iraqi reconstruction conference, said he expected 90 percent of the some 6,000-8,000 participants at the fair in the Iraqi capital to be from abroad. [ Visit Website ]

IN SEARCH OF BAGHDAD When Iraq Looked West

BAGHDAD — It is hard to convey the degree of hostility many in this city feel toward the West today. But there was a time when Baghdad hungered for the trappings of Western culture. This was especially true in architecture, and it redefined the city's physical shape as much as any war.
More construction took place in Baghdad during the second half of the 20th century than at any time since the Golden Age of the Abbasid dynasty came to a close nearly 750 years ago. Most of this new work was Modern in spirit and represented a radical break with Baghdad's past. Among the international architects with major projects here were Frank Lloyd Wright, then nearing the end of his career; Walter Gropius, a founder of the Bauhaus; and the Italian Modernist Gio Ponti.

PRIME EXECUTIVE PLAN FOR IRAQ
Herein lies a proposal for the new government structure of Iraq. This plan counts on Iraq being an eventual constitutional republic with direct or indirect representative-based government at all the government levels. There should be a bill of rights. The national and state/provincial governments should all consist of three branches: executive, legislative and judicial. All branches would implement a series of checks and balances upon each other.
