Shanghaied and shipped to Iraq working for KBR

Paying people less money (not pocket change) in the developing world than they would be paid in a country like the US or Europe is not shocking to me. I believe in paying people a fair wage that is in line with the local market conditions. (Paying Nike wages is not what I would consider fair wages.) I've witnessed price inflation across the developing world and that too creates problems such as the locals not being able to afford food, transportation and other living expenses. Check out Cambodia, for example. What is revolting to me about this is that people are being tricked into going to Iraq to supply jobs that they do not want when there is an entire country sitting on massive unemployment. Who in the hell came up with this stupid program? If we're going to give away contracts to KBR, shouldn't we at least dictate to them that they hire locals and pay fair and decent wages? I mean, 30,000 workers from 38 countries really takes the cake for stupidity and sounds like the old British and French policies in their colonial empires.
