Iraq
Background If you can avoid daily car and suicide bombings, kidnappings for ransom, torture and murder, Iraq is a beautiful, warm country with plenty of culture. Be sure to avoid all contact with other humans though; even if you avoid the terrorists and kidnappers, 36% of civilian deaths since the end of Operation Desert Storm have been related to criminal activities. Don’t go near coalition forces either – friendly fire situations are increasingly common as jittery troops shoot first and ask questions later. If the hostilities aren’t extreme enough for you, take a scenic trip to the north of the country, where there have been outbreaks of bird flu.Our travel tip: Attach orange canvas sheets to the roof of your vehicle, which is a sign to allied aircraft that you’re a friendly. As if that will make any difference.. Dangers Frequent kidnappings some of which result in the murder of hostages Daily car and suicide bombings and other terrorist activity often aimed at foreigners Crossfire between international forces and insurgents Random and indiscriminate sectarian violence Outbreaks of bird flu in northern Iraq.
