Very interesting piece. There is a need for more articles/coverage of this nature that attempt to show a ‘human’ side to Iraq. The daily reports of bloodshed have clearly given some observers a tainted view of a beautiful, historic civilisation.

‘Bauer’ for one is a perfect example of the senseless, misconceived, unsubstantiated commentary that does not benefit any dialogue on the topic.

Remember that Iraqis are only human beings attempting to regain some control over their lives by ‘normalising’ day-to-day activities – what this piece is all about.

I look forward to watching more pieces like this. Good work Ghalib Tawfiq!

Time out In Baghdad, is a very interesting piece! There is a lot of need for more articles/coverage of this nature that attempt to show a ‘human’ side to Iraq. The daily reports of bloodshed have clearly given some observers a tainted view of a beautiful, historic civilisation.

I look forward to seeing more programmes and articles like this, very good work Ghalib Tawfiq!

What a farce! You don’t show us what life is in Baghdad during the day. I am disappointed with Fox news coverage of Iraq…the American people need to be shown what a busy day in Baghdad is like, what is happening around Irbil…people think is not part of Iraq for some reason. How many times have you shown the potential of the farms around the rivers, how much arable land there is, how good the average Iraqi longs for peace and prosperity. This video’s reference to life being more active before the 2003 invasion is very interesting. Was it better for all those people found in the mass graves? Come on Fox, you can do a lot better than this.

Interesting – ALL MALES – no women, suppose the women are chained up by the kitchen stove.
For this we are fighting????

A culture like this needs to be isolated to implode – nobody can drag them out of the dark ages, they have to do it by themselves.

TIME OUT IN BAGHDAD- VIDEO
What an amazing video. I enjoyed it and like to suggest it be shown on national TV for all Americans to see. It’s refreshing to see life and movement in a city where many of our men and women are living. The Iraqis freedom of movement is different from the scenes we usually see of war and troops. Ghalib Tawfiq showed his people as they are! jon p

Americans walk to Washington on July 4, 2008. Affirming the principles that this country was founded on-The Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed, by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
Drive as far as you can, park on the side on the interstate, and then walk the rest of the way.

If you’re in the Military do not abandon your post. If you work in hospitals or in utilities please stay in your position, otherwise walk.
