Why are OUTSIDERS being hired to repair the Iraqis country when the economy there is FVCKED UP and Unemployment is HORRIBLE??
Why aren't IRAQI's being hired for the jobs??? Seems terribly unjust if you ask me.
Who is paying for these foreign workers anyways? Who is rewarding and paying for the contracts of these companies?
I think these companies should hire some Iraqis. Are they not hiring any of them? Are these companies going to trust their equipment and services to random Iraqis?
They should try to hire some Iraqis, but that doesn't mean that some Muslim extremists should run around and kill foreigners.
The reconstruction is being paid for with a lot of Iraqi Citizens OIL and some US $$$. It doesn't mean that innocent workers should be killed - correct.. but it also doesn't help the Iraq economy as much as it does the economy of that where the workers came from.
I agree, they should hire some Iraqis. Any reason why they are not? One would assume that it would also be cheaper. Perhaps they have security or experience concerns? But then I can't understand why 12 random laborers from Nepal were hired over 12 random Iraqis.
