Good Paying Jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan Get the Facts
29Oct2009 Filed under: Afghanistan Culture Author: admin
Sure the economy is bad and a lot of people are out of work but the fact remains that there are still plenty of good paying jobs out there. Take jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan for instance, where war and strife have left so much devastation in their wake.
They Have the Money
At last count Iraq had well over eighty billion dollars in their surplus accounts to pay for rebuilding. Bear in mind thats only the money in surplus and doesn’t take into account future oil revenues that are due to come in.
Low Tech and High Tech Jobs
After decades of neglect under the regime of Saddam Hussein, many of those years under an oil embargo, Iraq’s massive oil infrastructure is in dire shape. This means years and possibly even decades of well paying jobs for pipe fitters, electricians and welders just to name a few.
Private Security Workers
Then of course, there are the jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan that involve private security. Right now there are over 200,000 private security workers in Iraq alone and as rebuilding in Afghanistan steps up so too with the need for private security workers there as well.
Prepare in Advance
The first thing that you need to do if you are serious about landing a well paying job in Iraq and Afghanistan is to get a passport and get your resume in order. Also, it doesn’t hurt to learn a little of the native language as well as some of their customs.
Look Online
Then get busy looking online, because that is where you are going to have your best chances at finding one. Also, bear in mind that these types of jobs often require that you commit yourself to an extended contract, so give it plenty of thought before you sign on.

Why?
Because a liberal is basically just a conservative with a guilty conscience.
The "give the slaves more grits and bacon" faction of the wealthy who own USA, Inc. ("liberals") and the "beat 'em harder" faction ("conservatives") are both based on conditioning their slaves to _only_ consider the situation on _this_ plantation.
Killing slaves elsewhere is considered "okay."

As more Soviet soldiers died in Afghanistan, it created unrest at home, due to families receiving their sons home in body bags. The war also put considerable strain on the Soviet economy, which led to more unrest (the unrest was caused by economic issues, which could be indirectly listed as a result of the Afghan war). The Soviet failed invasion of Afghanistan is often cited as one of the reasons for the downfall of Communism in the nation.
As a side note, this is what is occurring in the United States regarding Iraq. If there were no/very few casualties in the Iraqi War, then there wouldn't be an outcry against it. While the United States' economy is more robust than the failed central economy of the Soviet Union, which was under strain before the Afghan invasion, the cost of the war is showing at the gas pump and grocery stores.

The people of the United States have never had the stomach for long wars going back to the Spanish American war and the War in the Philippines four years is about all you'll get before the wheels start to come off.
People where starting to get tired of World War II before Truman dropped the A bomb. Since the turn of the century we have always had leaders who tried to drag the American people into a more interventionist role in the world from the War in the Philippines, to Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, a host of smaller ones, and now Afghanistan A place most Americans couldn't find on a map.
People just want no parts of it but it doesn't stop our leaders from trying.
This is not new remember George Bush and Iraq? Most of the left hated that man but most Americans gave George his four years with most of the elite media beating a drumbeat against the war.
Afghanistan has been going on over four years, it time to go.

They are still fighting to limit the influence of terrorists and to deny them a safe haven to rearm and retrain for more attacks.
Many people are losing sight of the primary objective and letting themselves get sidetracked into blind alleys like this. While we may deplore the injustice of such laws, it is a part of their religion and is barbaric but has nothing to do with why we fight.

Funny-have a star
The most nauseating thing about people who make a song & dance about "supporting the troops" is that almost none of them has any idea what's actually happening over in Afghanistan. The USAF has been bombing villages that are only suspected of harbouring or being sympathetic to the Taliban. Dropping 500lb bombs on shacks smacks of overkill, and has had predictably catastrophic results for the local civilians. So if you were Mr Average Afghan, and the USAF blew your house up with your wife & kids inside, who would you support?
The "war" in Afghanistan is an immoral load of bollocks

Due to the fact that Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. Just ask the Soviets–oh, that regime no longer exists since their quagmire in Afghanistan.
We wouldn't be having this discussion had Bush & Co. remained in the country that perpetrated the attacks of 9/11 instead of lying to the American people and the world about their inept attempts to conquer Iraq.
