Guessing you do something pertaining to IT/electronics? They're mad for them in Iraq at the moment, so the pay's insane. Plus you'll be inside a (likely militarized) compound 99% of the time, the other 1% being travelling between the airport.

Do it.

I think it would just mean you realize your own death much more vividly because of your heightened awareness. That's if you actually get blown up or attacked by men with guns.

Dr. Drew · 06-30-2009, 03:00 PM

Do it.

Don't you think you would regret not doing it?

Unless, of course, you choose not to and the guy who goes instead gets blasted in the dome.
