I have a friend that just moved back to Iraq. He's being paid $80,000 every sixty days for security detail there. He was on home leave when I saw him on Saturday, and he shipped back on Sunday for another 60 days. He enjoys dodging bullets. He was trying to con me into going with him about a year and a half ago, but when I saw him on Saturday he said I probably made the right call.
I have another friend who has a lovely apartment in Alexandria, overlooking the Mediterranean. He's Egyptian (Naturalized American, actually, and with the world's sexiest voice, btw), and he'd rather live here than anywhere in the Middle East.
