May 2013

but this thread made me think about my war experiences in Iraq and the possibility of revisiting some of the places I saw when I was in
Iraq.

I did a quick google search and found this article: http://www.icptr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Social-Implications-and-Possibilities-of-Post-War-Tourism-Development-in-Iraq.pdf

It is kind of a dry read (I've read a lot of scientific journals for a living and the format isn't that bad to me), but I thought it was insightful.

I'd imagine that Iraq would be at least 30 years off from being safe for an American to visit. I'd love to go back.
