War Update
Iraq has been a no-go zone for most civilian aircraft for almost two decades. First, there were UN sanctions after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Then U.S.-led forces toppled the dictator in 2003, and violence engulfed the country. Yet, now that insurgent attacks and sectarian bloodshed have ebbed over the past year, Iraq's government is beginning to promote tourism. It will be a tough sell - and even if officials can grab the attention of the adventuresome, Iraq's tourism facilities are shabby. The opening of a new airport Sunday in the southern city of Najaf is expected to help boost the number of religious pilgrims. Iraq is thinking about more than pilgrims, though. Last week, officials displayed tourism posters and said they are intent on attracting visitors to Iraq's fabled archaeological sites, many of them looted and damaged in fighting.
