Behind the politics of modern Iraq is a land as rich in history and legend as any in the Middle East. Here is Mesopotamia, where three great religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - were born. Here are the ancient cities of Ur and Nineveh, and the site of Babylon.
Modern Iraq is under threat from every quarter, politics play havoc with ordinary lives and sanctions cut deep. However, today's rare visitors are met with a broad hospitality that belies years of deprivation. And behind the politics is a land as rich in history and legend as any in the Middle East.
