Well done on a tough decision, Sweety. At the end of the day NO job or amount of money is worth your life. And believe me, Iraq is nowhere near as safe as some say.
It's funny. Resigning over an issue such as operating as a civilian into a warzone seems like such a simple decision to make but when it comes time to lay your job on the line it can be a tough call.
I chose to resign this week if my company resumed services into Iraq (suspended after DHL) but after discussions with management it was agreed to make operating there strictly voluntary (and I didn't volunteer!). So I stayed. But it is bloody hard to leave any job in such a stuffed industry.
Best of luck for the future.
