Believe it or not, I caught this in the newspaper yesterday:

Forget Iraq, the combat zone. Instead visualize Iraq, the country of barbecued fish and historic sites.

�We don�t expect planeloads of tourists next year,� says Hasan Al-Fayadh. �But the security situation is a lot better now. We�ve already had three tourist groups from Vietnam and several groups from Russia.�

Croatia is now a favored vacation hot spot only a decade or so after it was embroiled in conflict. If the same thing happened to Iraq it would be the best thing the Iraqis could ever hope for.
