I'll say it again...
SUNFISH,
You clearly don't know what you're talking about in regards to the legalities of working in Iraq. (If for no other reason than you'd have told us by now how many degrees in international law that you have).
To the best of my knowledge, it is NOT illegal for Australians to work as "security consultants" in IRAQ. This from sources who'd only be too happy to say otherwise. (And some people I know would have had difficulties on their return to Australia).
I've several friends and aquaintances who have worked over there in various capacities between 1992 and the present day. All are people I'd consider "salt of the earth" and not "scum of the earth".
Why not stick to posting what you know about? Like your hobby farm, or yacht, or your flying lessons?
DIVOSH!
