Getting in to Baghdad Iraq is not difficult to do. If you go to the Iraqi embassy in Washington DC they will give you a visa application for Iraq. Pay the fee and in about 2 business days you can have a visa to go to Iraq. It is not advisable to do this because this is a war zone. Western women are more at danger there than many other places. The United States has her enemies at this point in time and the American people are in danger of being kidnapped, killed, raped etc.. It is best not to go to places such as Iraq unless you have an emergency or good reason to be there.

[edit] Stay safe

Unless you are there for business, Baghdad is not safe for tourism.

Women travellers are urged to take particular care, and should only go to Iraq if absolutely necessary. If going there is a must, then it would be wise to take a man, for protection as single females are often targeted.

Visitors should take care to adhere to the dressing customs, eg, long clothes, with women's faces completely covered. Women who do not adhere to the dress codes should not be surprised if they are hissed at by strangers or called sluts.

Islam is a prominent way of life for most Iraqis, if not all. You should take care not to blaspheme, or misuse the name of the prophet Muhammed in any way, shape or form, as doing such a thing could get you in big trouble.

There is a high level of armed crime in Iraq; many of the population are armed and more than willing to shoot.

If you are in Baghdad, you should leave immediately, if it is safe.

[edit] Get out

That is absolutely what you should do, if you're unlucky enough to be there in the first place. Get out!
