An Incident in Iraq
When the Iraqi War ended, an office of the Japanese Government visited Iraq to check the situation.
He saw Iraqi citizens helping themselves. They collected parts from an electricity power plant destroyed in the war to reassemble them into a handmade generator. They were tough and unyielding. But when an American company came to rebuild the power plant, those Iraqi citizens were forbidden to enter the power plant. Yet, operation by the US company did not go smoothly due to decline in public safety. Electricity supply was still a big problem.
The Japanese officer also saw local people holding meetings to discuss how to reconstruct their community. But those devout Iraqi citizens did not have even desks, tables, and chairs. So, the Japanese officer bought those facilities to provide for them for free. However it was not an official present from the Japanese Government but a personal gift from the officer as he paid it out of his pocket.
