Greetings, and don't get shot (or accidentally shoot innocent people). : )
Nope. Mosul still gets it's share of days where it is hit hard (one day 6 car bombs went off at the same time...was fucking loud) but not nearly as horrorshow as Baghdad by anymeans...I am not scared of things that go boom for the mostpart...but there are things in baghdad that I am terrified of, and have no desire to encounter.
Besides Mosul and Baghdad, there is Kurdistan. The place is ruled by the Kurdish tribe, and the people there love us. We can walk around in Kurdistan, and not be afraid of the locals trying to kill us...sit down in thier restaurants, go to thier shops...that kinda thing. It's a real nice place to visit from time to time.
