Iraq Vacation Guide
As anyone who has watched the news lately will know, Iraq is currently not a place that is safe for tourists. Road side bombs, local militias, military operations, and insurgents all contribute to making Iraq an incredibly dangerous environment. The area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers is called "the cradle of civilization" and is rich in history. Unfortunately, much of this history has been damaged by military conflict or stolen during the US invasion by those looking to make a quick profit off of Iraq's cultural heritage.
The majority of Iraq is still unstable due to a fledgeling government that is struggling to assert its own independence. Factional rivalries between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims also undermine the fragile peace process. The Kurdish regions of Iraq have recovered quicker thanks, in part, to the lack of division that the rest of Muslim Iraq suffers from. The Kurdish regions to the north are actually some of the prettiest regions in Iraq. With scenic mountains, a more temperate climate, and less chance of being killed, northern Iraq would be the only place to visit at this time.
Hopefully one day peace will come to Iraq and the bombings and rocket attacks will stop. Then the concrete barriers and wire that surround most of the important city buildings can come down. Iraq will then be able to sweep away the debris from war that covers the country to once again proudly display its cultural riches to the rest of the world.
