With a technology industry being scolded about needing to help create rain, out comes a very pivotal website link that only verifies that the work of angels deserves recognition and rewards from those who profit from materialism.
Many of us agonize and mourn the death and the injury of soldiers in the past 12 + months. The lives of local families are ruined. ( Picture amputees in need of arm, leg, facial prosthetics, orthopedic treatment, blindness, destroyed bodies and minds of former healthy human beings)
According to Berlin (AP), approximately 21,000 WOUNDED shoulders have been treated in Landstuhl, Germany. 17.878 from Irak and about 3,000 from Afghanistan. How they were injured is not disclosed. The emphasis though is that 17.878 were wounded and treated from Irak. ( Picture this in your local community hospitals)
While we have this news, Haliburton, is hiring local “uneducated” mostly Texans (?) to do work in Irak. I seriously doubt many of them can even locate Irak on a world map. They are being employed to do simply work, as “trusting souls and potential victims ”. Haliburton has informed them that this is highly dangerous and most conceivably life threatening. (Source is from a TV newscast, I am not talking about engineering crews here)
I am very curious and would like to learn more about their life insurance and health insurance policies.
I myself am NOT covered in a war zone.
Is it only me, or is this really a perverted sense of treating employees with respect and human dignity ? How can anyone bait civilians to possibly wipe out their own lives and endanger the wellbeing of their family members ?

.........you are reading to many tabloid trash spy novels and wishing you had an exciting life instead of the boring wasteland of hi-tech Swiss suburbia....................?
Thomas please..............I know that SA flies non-stop Atlanta to Jo'burg........but we charter citation or gulfstream jets from a reputable charter party..............as needed.
Super, about South Africa... have you been to SA yet ?
If your feedback is accurate, then many people are very close to their government and my article was FAR too provocative with the wrong effect... different histories.. different perspectives.
I call it.. the was I see it.. for discussion only..
So sorry about not getting back to you in a timely fashion, I've been on the phone half the day with my South African business partner who is looking to form a new JV based in Basle CH with another South African.............did you day somthing about "travel, travel, travel..........."; ah, never mind. On to the substance of your remarks.
Even in reviewing your commnets you don't see the that you provide no contextual overflow as a furhter reference for improving employee work ethics in corporate America. Everyone understood where you were coming from; that is why there are so few replies...........as I previously stated. While this has nothing to do with political correctness per se the highly sensitive nature of the Iraqi war calls for precise understanding of the underlying forces. The ranting was all yours. Never has a nation been so severly criticized for it's dominate role. And seeing as you contradicted yourself when you state there are cultural issues at stake as well, why bother to gleam more insight if you are not aligned with the underlying realities................
Take a gander of my first comments and evaluate the context of your supposition as a reflexsive obtuse rant on US efforts in Iraq..........but wasn't that obvious?
jch..
The website I use lacks credibility and was just to make a point and to get a reaction.. it works...like a tabloid.
The point I am trying to make is not about Texans or America.
Anyone that travels extensively will know you will find the same people in almost any country.
You cite only American war statics and only American contractors who you denigrate as being "local “uneducated mostly Texans"; I thiink you know eaxctly what I was addressing.............so why change the context?
If it is TRULY about human behaviour then put it into the global perspective it merits and not in the frame of reference of some consipracy theory web site that vilifies US engagement efforts in Iraq.
So far as government are concerned [and you may not be a god feraring man so I don't know if you'll quite understand this......but] here might be an enlightening perspective:
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
I find it ironic that those who rallied in support of a presidential candidate who called the coalition "the coalition of the bribed" can so eagerly look past the documented ties between the Saddam billionaire slumlord operation and various European interests. As much as I found the CBS tragicomedy about Bush's possible National Guard digressions decades ago just one more example of loss of proportion in contemporary politics... 60 Minutes and others have covered the multi-billion scandal of which "Oil for Food" may be a part, the massacre of civilians in Halabja, etc.
The classic apologentsic response to the crimes of Saddam [to which we can include two invasions of neighbors (a million dead), the gassing of an entire Kurdish village (3k-5k women, children, grandparents, etc treated to a grisly weekend of death), the use of torture, the funding of kids as suicide bombers against civilians] is to produce a picture of Saddam and Rumsfeld -from the days following the sacking of the US Embassy in Iran (enemy of my enemy is my friend)- and further extend the blame game to a new height of incredulity. Note to the tired class-warfare, race-warfare, blame gaming apologentsia who claim that everyone who disagrees with them is either bribed, evil or stupid... take a close hard look at the billionaire slumlord class in the Middle East, their cohorts and courtesans, their cash flows and their alliances of convenience that run the gamut from alienated technocrats and misfits now positioning themselves as Muslim scholars and Holy warriors to the two percenter graft artists who once circled around Arafat and Saddam, to the rubble that begins just where their elaborate palaces end.
It isn't about America, it is about human behaviour you can see in many governments and corporations and wars across the centuries. It is just a real pitty, we are not evolving to change this behaviour.
I do not know if ethics and morals can be taught ( I hope sincerely hope so). Listen to the interview.. the last few minutes.. it runs for about 30 minutes.
Please also remember, most European families, like mine ( persecuted by the Nazi's, put into labor camps, bombed by the Russians and then by the Americans..all in the same family over 4 years).. don't care much for governments, the larger they are the worse and evil they can get.. that most of them lack human intelligence.. goes without saying.. try some comedy central.. finally some US satire..there is hope.
Wow.......how enlightening can you get Thomas, as if we really needed you biased input into the further elucidation of Iraq. Let's through in a few redneck piss-poor stupid Texan steriotypes into the mix and no one will doubt for a second that you may have a interest in their deception..
Tell me something: WHAT BUINESS DO YOU HAVE QUERSTIONING ANYONE WHO PUTS THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE IN IRAQ? You are you to judge? Is this another example of smug euro-trash comopolitan know-how that solves it own problems.........say like in Bosnia? Get real, a stop using AO to bemersch americna interest in Iraq.

Your post Thomas, is very profound. For here is where you see the Rumsfeld
directives only proving the active NSSM 200 policy in action. There is no
doubt, Thomas, that what has been undertaken in Iraq for the benefit of
illusionary contracts for a roster of US corporations including Halliburton,
is the most misdirected and erroneous use of taxpayers dollars. Facing the
fact that mass murder is used as a tactic for stealing resource output of
foreign oil reserves puts all those in favor of war, in the kettle of the Devil.
For in fact, using foreign oil for energy demand, building relationships with
foreign oil companies, has nothing to do with mass murder, maiming and
hurting human lives on the grandest scale, and causing the nuclear contamination that the evil US Fed refuses to stop. That being those death
and destruction industries have in fact gained a conglomerated sort of
monopoly over the minds of the Congress and of the masses, through
their media frontmen. The solution involves breaking up the conglomerates
in terms of anti-trust, fostering the principles of viable global compact,
destroying the terms of the current New World Order, and in fact equating
what is going on, on the macro. level to what went on in the worst Charlie
Manson like scenerios, and or the current Scott Pederson nightmare.
We know the former case was proven with witnesses. We know the latter
case, is shroud in many unknowns. Similarly the war in Iraq under the
directives of the Rumsfeld Gestapo, has not only undermined the value
of US leadership, because it has failed in it's mission, but also has
a stone cold face in relation to the crimes it has committed. These crimes
will persist until this cult of death and destruction is stopped. Without
that focus, the growing numbers of suffering, will only prove that what
is going on is immoral, evil, and will find many repercussions.
