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.

If America did not intervene in middle east like such they did for the recent 60 years you would see different relationship between east and west regretfully all the previouse politics brought disasters and made huge rift between us, but we as iraqi people do not hold any kind of hate to ward westerns whoever they are and they are most welcome to come and visit as their 2nd home

The fact that This a country that America invaded and stole it's life. And you are walking in the country as a tourist makes these people ❤❤❤

[@usul573]

Stole it's life? What the hell does that mean? Visitors should be welcome to Iraq I see no reason why not.

[@eugeneallen7757]

Steal? Obviously he’s in the GREEN ZONE! We made that place secure and full of capitalism. AMERICA. WON THE WAR. But no one want to admit it. We forever have a footprint inIRAQ

[@BrettMcNary]

USA toppled the Saddam regime. Probably why the Iraqis welcome Americans with open arms

[@drewg2024]

Didnt steal shit, free the people. Most of them had nothing under Sadamm and still wouldnt at this time.

[@sarahmitchell4455]

That's so ignorant. Thousands of US young people died fighting TERRORISTS. shut your mouth

[@mahaba9704]

اني عراقيه واشجعك على هذه الفيديوهات الجميله التي تعكس العراق الجميل بلد الحظارات بلدي الجميل الرائع ❤ انا عايشه بهولندا واشتاق جدا إلى بلدي العراق 🎉❤❤❤❤

[@qlaster1392]

Man thank you a lot I am iraqi living in Jordan and whenever I miss Iraq and want to go there I open your videos in Iraq and I enjoy it so much. Much appreciation for your work and thank you❤❤❤.

[@operator001]

I’m glad to see them flourish. Ive been to Iraq but it was a different time. I was always kind to the locals, they are just trying to live.

[@Lion__]

[@doug_barnard]

[@zahraaali4204]

Thank you for showing the hidden good side of Iraq ♥️ we love you from Baghdad

[@moneymike1178]

I deployed to Iraq twice…I had some very meaningful experiences with the locals…very hospitable…one day I would like to return with a different mindset…it makes me sad that I couldn’t be there under different circumstances

[@sarahmitchell4455]

❤

[@Sarahwadah]

Welcome anytime in Iraq. I follow you in Iraq and I really enjoy watching the clips. Thank you Doug, you are truly the best. Keep it up ❤️.

[@ryanwais]

You're welcome, Doug. Let's show the world who we truly are. KZbinrs can be a great way to showcase the real Iraq. Let's challenge the negative stereotypes portrayed by fake media. I encourage everyone around the world, regardless of race, background, or religion, to visit Iraq and experience our country for yourselves. From the south to the north, you'll find a welcoming and generous people. While our technological infrastructure may not be the most advanced, our hospitality and respect for one another are hallmarks of our civilization.

[@doug_barnard]

i agree!!! ❤️🇮🇶

[@pdxincanada143]

Question: Is it understood there that the American people were largely against the war? Are there people who will be upset to see an American tourist there? If so, totally understandable. I would like to visit

[@ryanwais]

Yes, a lot of Americans were against the Iraq war, you know. Millions of people protested to try to stop it. Iraqis know that the people have nothing to do with the government, so they don't hate Americans at all. They only hate the government that destroyed their country for the false reason of having weapons of mass destruction.

[@NotMeto]

My brother you are always welcome. I wish you happy times in my beautiful country

[@shaneross7428]

I love knowing Iraq isn't a mess still. Fighting etc

[@Maximum-ev9sz]

Oh, you are truly the best because you visited us and we welcome you at all times 😊

[@ivessandiego1545]

I'm going to visit Iraq and Iran in May 2024. As I'm Brazilian, I don't know if I'll get a visa for the Republic of Iraq, but I'll at least visit Kurdistan.

[@footballtime9443]

You will get it after you arrive in Baghdad

[@arctos333]

its the same country

[@ايُليا33]

not same country ​@@arctos333

[@Ky0iii1]

Seeing tourists in iraq brings joy to all iraqis including me because we have a bad reputation amongst other countries so seeing you guys here is such a pleasure and we’re very thankful for you doug for showing other people how iraq truly is

[@Chris-pf8by]

I am so happy that Iraq is finally seeing peace and stability after so much hardship, incl. US invasion, terrorism, ISIS, etc. KZbinrs pave the way and when official travel recommendations move away from "Do not travel", that is when the tourism will really start. I am sure it will in a year or two unless something bad happens.

[@Ky0iii1]

@@Chris-pf8by for real! Whenever i search up iraq on google it says not to travel but honestly we are so welcoming and love all travelers and treat them better than other countries would

[@aliyam4jasim221]

🇮🇶😍my counter miss Iraq 🥰 I will travel soon to Iraq 🇮🇶❤️

[@مسيٓوبابرت]

We welcome you at any time. This is your country. Come anytime you like, and our homes are your homes. Do not leave us, we are brothers.🙏🏻🤍🤍🤍

[@علاءالحمداني-ح4ط]

😅 Finally, Douglas is in Iraq. How happy I am to have you in Baghdad. Your videos are so wonderful and full of positive energy.

[@heystck]

Awesome Doug!

[@doug_barnard]

Thanks Henry!

[@kristinereyes7162]

Glad to see that countries like Iraq, Syria are now taking steps of progressing their country again and at the same time still keeping the culture and let the whole world see the beauty and kindness of the people living there.

[@reemalani3366]

فيديو كلش حلوووووو ،نتمنى كل الاجانب يجون يشوفون بغداد والعراق ،ويشوفون الكرم العراقي.

[@soculese]

من المؤكد أن العراق لا يبدو كما يصوره الإعلام الأمريكي، ويبدو أن الشعب العراقي دافئ وودود ومرحب.

[@DodaIolmj]

You are very kind, thanks 💓💓🤭🫂​@@soculese

[@masteryo2004]

I’m so glad you keep coming back to Iraq ❤ we love you brother thanks for coming back, your brother from Los Angeles 😊

[@ZAID-aliraqii]

bro, We want to see you watching an Iraq match in a public place inside Baghdad. On Monday, we will face Jordan in a very important match. It will be An exciting match .

[@abosisabyss]

I went here to visit my family in last winter for the first time in 10 yearsand it was a golden experience, I later kept seeing what other people thought about the country and out of how much I miss it and I discovered your videos. 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!

[@Zaraa-z2e]

I hope that you will go to the city of Karbala again, as well as to the modern area of ​​Baghdad, which is close to the Tigris River. You are welcome in Iraq at any time. 💙🇮🇶🫶

[@MOHAMMED-IQ8080]

I’m so happy you make me see my country. I didn’t see it since I leave it 2012 and I got here in Texas

[@mutfaeel]

Not surprising; Baghdad was once the greatest capital in the world and the heart of the civilization of the Islamic world. It will one day return as a civilized giant as it was.❤

[@neuMANSTEIN]

One advice about lahm b'ajeen (meet with dough) if you are not that hungry, try it without eggs or cheese, Iraqi meet has a nice flavour on its own

[@willf2896]

Even in the middle combat in 2003, the Iraqi people were the the most sincere and nicest people i have ever met. The Islamic insurgents from other countries, not so much.
