Countries that have a sizeable number of Islamic radicals should not be targets of outsourcing. How about keeping our business inside our country - which also contains sizeable numbers of people who are a threat? USA corporate law requires that the top managers of publicly owned corporations (i.e., CEOs, Boards of Directors, various officers with fiduciary responsibility, etc.) be concerned primarily with shareholder equity, and last and least with other concepts like national security, local unemployment, social contract, pollution, etc. It is what it is.
