South Koreans Leave

Kos comments on the South Korean departure from Iraq after two workers were killed by the guerrillas. Kos also asks why Iraqi companies aren't being used for this work. An Iraqi-American friend of mine was asking the same question right after the war. Given that the huge unemployment rate in the country is a factor in the current instability, you'd think pumping some money into the Iraqi economy would be a good thing. Instead we're using more expensive American companies who hire guest workers.
