Well Guest TIA if he wanted to he has the choice of three airports he could fly into Irbil, Baghdad or Basra. Irbil has been open for tourists since 2005. The link I advised Bobert to look at was from the BBC covering the story of a party of tourists who flew into Irbil and travelled the length of Iraq visiting the all the main tourist sites, they were there for 17 days with no escorts, no security. Now would you like to try that down by the Mexican border? Where I believe since 2008 over 6000 people have been killed, now that is in 15 months Guest TIA, since Afghanistan what has been the number of US fatalities fighting two wars over a period of eight years?
