I am a combat veteran in our conflict in Afghanistan but hold no hate to the Afghan people i wish them better days. WE NEED PEACE. We all need prosperity and peace.

      I agree completely. I want to visit one day (with careful planning probably, but it would be great). I wish more Americans saw the Middle East as a place full of amazing people, just like all parts of the world.
      I once heard a person say that they were worried about people hitchhiking on planes during the exit out of Afghanistan and I let them know Afghans want a good life and a job and want to live here for a reason. If there was no vetting process at all, that would be an issue, but that isn’t how it is.

    Hey Doug, love the videos! Try visiting the Kadhmiyya town in Baghdad before you leave. It is roughly 30 min away from Baghdad and similar atmosphere to Najaf and Karbala with some good souks around there. Its a mix of Najaf, Karbala and Baghdad.

I absolutely loved your other Iraq videos cuz it reminds me of what a great time I had with my family, I am so happy you’ve made another video about this amazing place and my home! I would like to suggest however that you would go to the shrines in “Kazimiyah” or “Samarra” if you really liked Karbala! God bless!
