Power Struggle by Paul McGeough On air: 17th October 2010

Can the huge reservoirs of oil under Iraq bring it prosperity and security at last? Or will it further divide the country between those who have the oil and wealth, and those that don't?

Sydney Morning Herald Chief Correspondent Paul McGeough tries to find the answers in a special guest report for Dateline.

He's been speaking to those in charge of turning round the country and its oil industry, and meeting the ordinary Iraqis struggling with chronic electricity, gas and water shortages, all in scorching 50 degree heat.

They all tell of a crumbling infrastructure, security concerns, corruption and still no government at the top to get things moving - locals describe themselves as 'powerless' in every sense.
