The following are stories written briefly during my visit to Baghdad between October 27th and November 2, 2003, They arew ore reflective and observatory describing some of thing things I noticed. I thought to share it with many of the people that are interested in the situation in Iraq. Arriving in Baghdad I just wanted to send you my regards on day 1 in Iraq. The trip went smoothly and a little excitting, as the charter started landing and you get a sense your on a cheap roller coaster ride at a lutanic partk :)I must say the heart felt welcome was a little unsettling as I was received with one of the most difficult days in Iraq since the occupation forces presence in May. 4 car bombs at least 34 people dead and 232 injured and the list goes on.You must have all heard the reports by now. This is not to mention all the other unexploded car bombs caught before they took few other casualities. So you can imagin the panic as well as the hysteria and fear running in people's lives. Luckly or perhaps unfortunantly for my partners, my presence is a little unsettling as they have to deal with another life to I am staying in a low key hotel located in heart of bagdad. The orient they call it. It used to be something of a place I imagine as we you look over the parade of old line of arab singers and actors from Um Kalthoum, Abdel Halim and others. For the first night in three weeks, I was told the local pianist was absent from his place and as few of the only residents we were left to the light of the candels at peace with our wonderful out of Iraq I think one of the things that most struck me so far, is the amount of dust around and the complete shagginess and ihmal the city looks in. The drive from the Airport to the MECC office looks like a nana land with nothing in Salam
