How do I get a security job overseas, like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia etc.?

How do I get a security job overseas, like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia etc.?
I was in the Army for 3 years. Served a tour in Iraq "1 year". I am interested in getting a security job in the middle east. Not Iraq. I don't have a death wish. I've been there and done that. I don't want to go back. When I was in kuwait I saw some civilian contractors there and I was intruiged by their jobs and from what I hear they make good money. How do go about doing this. I appreciate the answers. As Blackwater. I thought they only hired soldiers that we're in special forces or rangers. I was a field artillary surveyor. I was in a combat unit and did see combat but. I was never in any special operations or anything similar to that.

I think you will find that most security work, if not done for the US gov't, is very low paid in the Middle East. Most security guards, even supervisors, are filled with Nepalese, Indians, Pakistanis and other underpaid nationals. They make about US 250 per month and work often 6-7 days per week and 12 hours per day. Many are required to speak Arabic.
