Warzone/ Movie: Iraq invasion (2003), as seen in Green Zone (2010)
Level Of Heat: The heavily fortified 10-square-kilometer Green Zone, where U.S. troops quickly made their home after deposing the Saddam Hussein regime, is supposed tobe the safe part of town.

Has it cooled down since? "Baghdad...is a combination of all that is best in old and new," says Atlastours.net.
"Multi-storey buildings often tower over ancient arcaded bazaars overflowing with fantastic things. Motley of colors, races, costumes, and ways of life gives the city an air of vitality and excitement."
Oh, and the occasional suicide bomb. Guess they've forgotten to mention those.
