If we agree* that spreading our culture is the most effective way to win**?

My proposal would be completely unrestricted and non-government regulated trade and immigration between America and Iraq. Not to say security measure aren't taken, but something akin to the relationship between US/Canada.

Any other ideas?

Also, this is a random but not wholly unrelated question: Would it be cheaper to bring*** people from other countries to work jobs in the US for minimum wage with the idea that the infrastructure building and transport costs (for the end product) go to nearly zero, or build infrastructure and transport capabilities from the ground up, but pay the people 50 cents a day? Which is more morally acceptable?

(*) Obviously we don't all agree, but assume we do, like a math proof.

(**) I couldn't think of a better way to describe the desired end state.

(***) This would be an entirely volunteer action on their part. Perhaps with companies granting loans or somesuch so that people could bring their families. I don't, it's random.
