anyway, so this dude went out there to paint.
when asked how wasy was it to get across into "war territory"?
"Getting into Iraq was, as we say this side of the pond, a piece of piss (i.e. easily accomplished). For all the blather about security, the war on terrrrrrrrr, the patriot act at your end, the increase in police powers and surveillance at mine, etc (all the bullshit on our homeland(s), in short) - for 12 dollars and a night bus you can go from Amman to Baghdad with minimum fuss. Roadside bombs and kidnappings permitting. That was the way it was a few months ago anyway. Didn't even get my bag searched at the border. There were one or two little hiches with local security (namely the U.S. army and the Iraqi police) when I was caught graffing though. Funny - with all that noise, who cares about my little bit of "bombing"? Anyway if you've got the time, read the stories that go with the pics on the site."
