Perhaps Halliburton would like to do business with Iran and Syria without as many hassles. AFAIK, one of its subsidiaries did business with Libya before that embargo had been lifted.

Globalism is the best thing that happened to mankind. It ended up protection for the locals and for the friends of the king. The cushy jobs protected behind cumbersome labor laws and regulations are now open for anyone who can deliver at market rates. The government that were sucking taxes now finds the business seeking laces where governments are just happy to have the expats coming, and spending their income in the country. Of course there are those that try to sabotage any effort for the better. Foreign countries are paradise of crime. Want to destroy big oil and produce ethanol? You are destroying the trees. But we know deep down there they want the protection of a frontier where others cannot enter. They want a limit on H1B visa. And we, the barbarians are out here working hard to crash the gates. Capital should move free. Labor should move free. Goods should move free. HQ of big companies should move free.
