I was working in the Middle East back then when I was offered that, and things just weren't looking good in Iraq 3 years ago when the whole thing started. Its comparatively a whole lot calmer now if you can overlook some of the chaos.. Still not a good place to be in if you enjoy a relative degree of peace and quite..

I donÂ’t know this for a fact, but that would be my guess. Considering in the time our troops have been in Iraq, something like 80,000 people have been murdered in the USA. Andy L.

Talking about Iraq, some people (don't want to take names) 'claim' its safe to work there.. and then they add you would go there with the full protection of an army.. Ironical right? Safe and you need an army to protect you while you go to work :-). I was told that by the management of one of the companies I used to work for and I literally burst out laughing and was like you must be kidding!
