Who has been to Iraq and what was it like?

Answer 1

I was in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. It was bleak. After the war ended, many, many, many families were left homeless. We had hundreds of Iraqi soldiers surrendering to us every day, just to get some food. We helped many Iraqi families flee from Iraq into Saudi Arabia. The skies black from all of the oil fields burning in neighboring Kuwait. I lost a good friend there.

Answer 2

My husband was deployed to iraq for a year and just came home this past dec. He always said it was vary hot, lots of bugs and critters, nothing but sand. There were always iraqis there who supported them being there but it also depends on what part of iraq your in.

Answer 3

There are no tourists in Iraq for a very long time since it banned them long ago and therefore, I haven't been to Iraq.
