man, i didnt realise a simple press release was going to cause so much problem. it's a pretty simple statement, i'm not quite sure what the confusion is. multinational corporations and the us are using their muscle power to push iraqi people and workers out of the job. they also tried to make the minimum wage about 25$US a month until strike action by oil workers changed that. i suppose you're going to say that this is economics and they are just not clever enough to know how to play the 'free market' game?
