  • I’m sitting on a gilded chair, writing on a gilded table. The floors beneath me are marble, and the chandeliers above are sparkly and crystal. I'm about to go outside and try my hand at fishing for some enormous carpfish. The only reminder that I’m in a war zone is the pair of man-high concrete barriers I can see out my window. Welcome to Baghdad.
