The massive unemployment of Iraqi citizens is fueling violence and unrest. For the price of one contractor, 20 Iraqis could be put to work, and the overall job of rebuilding Iraq could be done at huge savings to the US taxpayer.
Iraqis are well-educated, after all they had the skills to BUILD in the first place what we are now paying contractors to rebuild.
What a pathetic state of affairs when Americans will risk their lives because the only well-paying jobs available are in Iraq. Bush has created jobs in Iraq by paying 20 times more than he needs to. Wouldn't a better idea be to let the Iraqis rebuild their own country and use the money saved to create jobs here in the US?
