Welcome to Iraq, liberated from a cruel dictatorship... to the point of civil war.
Welcome to Baghdad, jewel of the Euphrates... where insurgents voice their objections to occupation with an explosion every few minutes.
Welcome to the Baghdad Cafe, where a clientele of CNN reporters, US soldiers, belly dancers and part-time Mujahideen are about to meet a lad from Napier doing his O.E....
A bitingly funny satire abour politics, freedom, love, sex and othe things Lonely Planet doesn''t recommend in a war zone. |
