This was in Baghdad. I don’t think I’ve posted any opinion pieces on this (yet), but I would like to say up front that I don’t support the US actions in Iraq (or abroad in general).
The biggest thing I took away from my two years in Iraq was that this was a country filled with wonderful people of their own beautiful traditions. I wish I could have met them under better circumstances, but I’m glad nonetheless that I had the opportunity to meet so many people over there.
