Average Day in Baghdad - Iraq - Alive in Baghdad
|
Here is a montage of an average day traveling around Baghdad. I apologize for the lack of audio, I felt this would be better than leaving the various pop music and conversations from the peanut gallery as we drove through Baghdad. What you'll see in this clip is some of the Baghdad landscape, as well as the fixtures of the Occupation, tanks and humvees all around. Near the end you'll get a taste of what happens when an American Humvee convoy gets stuck in the Baghdad traffic. |

In war and peace children are always amongst the most vulnerable of communities.
Iraq has been no exception.
In this episode, Alive in Baghdad takes you to the children's ward of Baghdad Hospital, to make visible the plight of some very sick children, stricken with cancer by the presence of Depleted Uranium munitions, left over from the last to US wars in Iraq.
Despite official claims that so-called "Depleted" Uranium is mostly harmless, evidence continues to mount to the contrary. Rates of cancer and deformities in Iraq's children have sky-rocketed since 1991.
Here are just a few of their stories. |

Living in an war zone and spending much of your day under curfew means you'll end up with a lot of time on your hands.? Many young people in Baghdad end up doing what others their age all over the world do, and that's play video games. Wisam explains to us the difficulties inherent in playing videogames, what his favorites are and some analysis of his current situation as well.
Although we attempted to shoot a number of other interviews, to produce a piece with a wider perspective of the role videogames have begun to play in the lives of Iraqi youth, due to the security situation we were unable to find others willing to talk on camera.
It should also be noted that those able to occupy themselves with videogames are a small percentage of the populace of Baghdad. For example, the amount of money Wisam spends on electricity each month is nearly equal to the average per capita income in Baghdad.
Many youth, lacking outlets such as these, access to education, or gainful employment, are turning to militias and resistance groups as a way to fill their time. |

Baghdad GI - Iraq
|
June 2003
The war may be over but the streets of Baghdad are still dangerous. We join US troops on patrol in Baghdad.
"We hear gun shots every single day," comments Captain Boone. Old scores are now settled with gunfire and the troops have to try and restrain decades long animosities. With American soldiers coming under attack every day in Iraq, the danger is that any patrol could turn into an ambush. |

Shadi Al-Kasim is one of many Arab journalists who find the US presence in Iraq problematic, but are increasingly critical of the violence in Iraq and question the actions of the Iraqi people as well.
Shadi tries to explain some background on Iraq and detail some of the complexities on the ground.
As the balance of power shifts in Washington, perhaps these words will spark some discussion and introspection on the proper next steps in Iraq. |

Mohammed Saïd al-Sahaf
|
Al-Sahaf is known for his daily press briefings in Baghdad during the 2003 Iraq War. His colorful appearances caused him to be nicknamed Baghdad Bob (in the style of previous propagandists with alliterative aliases such as "Hanoi Hannah" and "Seoul City Sue") by commentators in the United States and Comical Ali (an allusion to Chemical Ali, the nickname of former Iraqi Defence Minister Ali Hassan al-Majid) by commentators in the United Kingdom. |

From Baghdad With Love Video
|
When Marines enter an abandoned house in Fallujah, Iraq, and hear a suspicious noise, they clench their weapons, edge around the corner, and prepare to open fire.
What they find during the U.S. led attack on the "most dangerous city on Earth," however, is not an insurgent bent on revenge, but a tiny puppy left behind when most of the city's population fled before the bombing. Despite military law that forbids the keeping of pets, the Marines de-flea the pup with kerosene, de-worm him with chewing tobacco, and fill him up on Meals Ready to Eat.
Thus begins the dramatic rescue attempt of a dog named Lava and Lava's rescue of at least one Marine, Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman, from the emotional ravages of war.
From hardened Marines to war-time journalists to endangered Iraqi citizens, From Baghdad, With Love tells an unforgettable true story of an unlikely band of heroes who learn unexpected lessons about life, death, and war from a mangy little flea-ridden refugee.
The book From Baghdad With Love is now available at bookstores every where. |
