I have heard estimates of up to 4,000 private sector security personnel working in Iraq.

Anything that affects the peace process does impact on Jordan. Jordan is structurally, economically, quite weak, and therefore it is much more susceptible to events in the countries around it, be it in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or in Israel.

Almost inevitably, these people are more exposed than those who tend to be protected.

Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.

You cannot have development in today's world without partnering with the private sector.
