...Despite the considerable risks attached to the transition process he's leading - including direct threats on his life - Allawi remains unruffled. That may be because he is widely viewed both in Iraq and abroad as a pragmatic "strongman" type ruler, rather than a Jeffersonian democrat.

According to a study by Matthew Slaughter, an associate professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, during the decade ending in 2001, U.S. firms hired nearly 3 million workers abroad, up 42%.
