You forgot the number one reason. Even truck drivers were being paid by US taxpayers over $100,000 per year just to drive the truck. Private security people were being paid on the order of $150,000+ annually. If I recall correctly, this is all tax free.
Remember what Dick Cheney said. Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. The US government will now pay almost anything to get people to work in Iraq. Still most every reconstruction project has terminated. No amount of money is large enough for many companies to put employees in Iraq.
It comes down to this. If the purpose of a company is to make a profit, then human life has no value. These are the companies that will find someone greedy enough to go work in Iraq.
