Scenes of Baghdad in a more peaceful time. A staredown with a jackass, blue skies, the Tigris river, and dark alleys at night. The jackass won.

We are friends with the Americans, we don't want any war with them. We are just talking about the government, their government. I think they are liars, and they want to give the world a pretext to attack Iraq, just for oil.
We call on American people to stop their government.

At hospitals in Baghdad and Mosul. Cancer rates are up 1000% since 1991 and medicine is not available. Doctors are unhappy, mothers even more so. Sanctions continue and people die.

Crossing the street can be challenging. One night in Baghdad, walking down the street. Popcorn, pepsi, fruit, nuts, clothing, food, toys, shoes, tools, juice, and fish. You can get most anything you need. Beautiful people and friendly faces.

Shiite mosque, Baghdad: Due to sanctions children die in the hospitals, if their families are too poor, they are buried here.
Al Amiriya bomb shelter, 1991: A smart "bunker buster" bomb crashed through the ceiling killing 408 mostly women and children who were watching cartoons to feel less frightened.

Upon hearing that western media was reporting "Iraqi's want war", we decided to go out to the streets of Baghdad and find out for ourselves. The results were not surprising. No-one wants this war.

Mobbed by children just outside the Al Amiriya bomb shelter. Loving to be in front of the camera, pulling my arm, asking for autographs, and saying "hello mister", "welcome" and "i love you"... it was difficult to leave.
