i hear you loud and clear! no one is say Iraq is a bad place to invest . i say it is just not the place for me to invest RIGHT NOW! i will wait till it is a lot more stabil then in i go! i like the people there have good friends still there(americans and iraqis). all i am saying is money will not move me to endanger my life! if i die who will take care of my loved ones? i feel this will be a plca to go to in the future!!! just not right now! atleast for me! just a last thought. if it is such a good place to invest right now why is 50% of it's own population outside? do you think that all of them are saying lets go back and invest?
