Will the Iraqi dinar revalue before coming out of chapter 7?
First, it must be clarified what the difference is between redenomination and revaluation. Redenomination simply means that X Old Currency becomes Y New Currency. For example, Turkey revalued the Turkish Lira some time ago where 1,000,000 Old Turkish Lira became 1 New Turkish Lira. This just meant that if a loaf of bread previously cost 1.3 million Old Turkish Lira, it now costs 1.30 New Turkish Lira. You have no more money than you did before. Revaluation is when a country gains a much stronger economy which buoys up the value of the currency. For example, imagine that a load of bread costs $3.00, then the currency is revalued, now the bread will cost $2.00, with the same bills that you had from before. This makes everything cheaper and therefore, your money is worth more.
As concerns redenomination, there is no official date posted by the Iraqi Government. The government hints that it will get to it eventually, but consistently delays this. The Iraqi Government has NOT ever claimed that revaluation is even a possibility. Most economic analysts hold that the claim that Iraqi Dinars will be revalued is fraudulent and is an attempt to lure gullible people away from their money.

If you mean when it will revalue at a higher rate, then probably never. "The bottom line is that Iraq does not want an appreciating currency because it would not do the country any good. Iraq wants economic growth, not currency growth." -John Jagerson - Investor Place

A diplomat traveling to the Philippines would have diplomatic immunity - your mail does not, and US soldiers (as well as parcels sent by US soldiers) are still subject to customs laws of a foreign country they travel to. That you're trying to find such a service makes what you're sending highly suspicious.
Why do people emigrate from Iraq?
There are several major reasons that people have emigrated from Iraq in the last ten years.
1) Current Civil Strife: This is patently obvious to anyone who watches the news. There was a war going on Iraq from 2003-2011 and this caused a lot of people to flee the violence. There is also the current conflict between the Republic of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
2) Religious and Ethnic Persecution: The Iraqi government has historically committed acts of genocide against its religious and ethnic minorities, making it unsafe for many of them (especially Christians) to remain safely in the country. The growing sectarian outlook in the country is making it more difficult for minorities to find protection.
3) Economic Opportunities: There are more economic and educational opportunities in the West than there are in Iraq.
What is the dominant branch of Islam practiced in Iraq?
Suni and Shia What is Islam?: The name of the religion is Islam, which comes from an Arabic root word meaning "peace" and "submission." Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting to Almighty God (Allah) in heart, soul and deed. The same Arabic root word gives us "Salaam alaykum," ("Peace be with you"), the universal Muslim greeting.
Who is a Muslim?: A person who believes in and consciously follows Islam is called a Muslim, also from the same root word. So, the religion is called "Islam," and a person who believes in and follows it is a "Muslim." * What is the difference between Muslim, Moslem and Islamic?
How Many and Where?: Islam is a major world religion, with over 1 billion followers worldwide (1/5 of the world population). It is considered one of the Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths, along with Judaism and Christianity. Although usually associated with the Arabs of the Middle East, less than 10% of Muslims are in fact Arab. Muslims are found all over the world, of every nation, color and race. * Muslim population of the world
Who is Allah?: Allah is the proper name for Almighty God, and is often translated merely as "God." Allah has other names that are used to describe His characteristics: the Creator, the Sustainer, the Merciful, the Compassionate, etc. Muslims believe that since Allah alone is the Creator, it is He alone that deserves our devout love and worship. Islam holds to a strict monotheism. Any worship and prayers directed at saints, prophets, other human beings or nature is considered idolatry. * More about the nature of God * "Names" of Allah
What do Muslims believe about God, prophets, the afterlife, etc.?: The basic beliefs of Muslims fall into six main categories, which are known as the "Articles of Faith": * Faith in the unity of God * Faith in angels * Faith in prophets * Faith in books of revelation * Faith in an afterlife * Faith in destiny/divine decree
The "five pillars" of Islam: In Islam, faith and good works go hand-in-hand. A mere verbal declaration of faith is not enough, for belief in Allah makes obedience to Him a duty. The Muslim concept of worship is very broad. Muslims consider everything they do in life to be an act of worship, if it is done according to Allah's guidance. There are also five formal acts of worship which help strengthen a Muslim's faith and obedience. They are often called the "Five Pillars of Islam." * Testimony of faith (Kalima) * Prayer (Salat) * Almsgiving (Zakat) * Fasting (Sawm) * Pilgrimage (Hajj)
Daily life as a Muslim: While often seen as a radical or extreme religion, Muslims consider Islam to be the middle road. Muslims do not live life with complete disregard for God or religious matters, but nor do they neglect the world to devote themselves solely to worship and prayer. Muslims strike a balance by fulfilling the obligations of and enjoying this life, while always mindful of their duties to Allah and to others. * Morals and manners * Business ethics * Modesty in dress and behavior * Dietary rules * Marriage * Care of children and elderly * Racism and prejudice * Relations with non-Muslims

A cold war is when two sides do not commit acts of overt hostilities, but instead secretly engage in activities to undermine one another. They just go back in forth with arguments and threats but nothing direct happens. The last cold war (between the US and the USSR) never erupted into a hot war because both side were nervous about a nuclear holocaust.
The Iraq war was a shooting war, a hot war. In a cold war there is no shooting but instead exchanges of words and posturing, and clandestine activities designed to erode support for the government. The threat of a hot war is real and sometimes follows a cold war, but not always.
