Bet on Iraq?

There's a website called, Bet on Iraq that presents an intriguing concept. Basically, they offer you the opportunity to purchase Iraqi currency at it's current value in the hope that it's value will increase as Iraq moves toward democracy and prosperity. (The current exchange rate is here.)

As a self-professed neocon, I believe that democracy isn't just good for Americans but good for everyone. I'd really like to do this sort of thing since it dovetails perfectly with my ideology. However, I'm not exactly a financial wunderkind.

So I'm asking for advice on this. What do you think? Is it worth a shot?
