He could have stayed in the United States but CHOSE to go to Iraq. He knew he was putting himself in harms way. You rolls the dice, you takes your chances. Unfortunately he lost big time. It was a tragedy, yes. But had he stayed home instead of trapesing off to a WAR-ZONE he would still be alive.

Well I'm assuming he was there for the same reason other civilian contractors are in Iraq - $$. The reality is, you go there and get paid a lot of money because it's dangerous. I still feel sympathy for his family, but you are right. He rolled the dice and lost out. I'm sure he knew the possibly consequences going in, just like everyone else though, he didn't think it could happen to him.
