There is so much beauty in Iraq. It's an exotic place. There is a lot of barren desert, which is most of what you probably see on TV, but even that has its own beauty. There are date groves and fruit tree orchards and areas of lush green. You can see that central Baghdad was once a very unique and lovely place before all the wars scarred it, but it can come back and some parts are still intact and very nice.

The wetlands to the south that Saddam ruined are coming back now, as is the wildlife that was driven away.

And I have been many places in the world and never seen sunsets as lovely as the ones we see here, particularly in the autumn.
