    • terrible experience:samarra----we ate in a little restaurant there,but some saudi pilgrims arrived and we were told to leave,because moslems do not want to eat with non-moslems(I imagine if in france,I ask in a restaurant to throw away all the arabs!!!).Then we visited the ziggurat(a tower like the tower of babel)where I had such a vertigo on the top that I almost died.

    This is the September the 14th Mosque in central Baghdad. It is more commonly known as the CNN mosque, as it often appears in the background when broadcasts are made from Baghdad. The Sheraton hotel is in the background. Firdos square, where Sadaam's statue was pulled down, is between the mosque and the hotel.

    A monument made from
    shells and helmets.

    This town, past the green line, will be sure to drive home how horrific the Anfal campaign was. Despite being a majority Kurdish city, it remained under control of the central government after the 1991 war. Khanaquin 'looks like Iraq', or at least the Iraq you see on TV. Further north the desert turns into pretty lush mountains but this far south, you can see the same desert and palm trees most would associate with Iraq.

    Now it is a pretty sleepy place and when I visited under PUK control, having been seized during the war. It is sure to be a disputed city in the future.
