are finding it very difficult to cope with the situation here,no stable
goverment,bomb explotion at strategic places every now and
then,sometimes people find it very difficult to go about their normal businesses
due to fear of being victim of terrorist attack,above all.the crisis in
iraq now has made business activities totaly parallised for quite
sometime now.for intance,no good telephone facilities,no adiquate
security,infact,all most all the basic infrastructure were destroyed during the
recent war in iraq,ever since then .the enveroment in iraq has never been
condusive business wise.
