American Pacifists Descend on Baghdad
They Hope Presence Will Forestall War

by Greg Barrett


WASHINGTON -- For $2,000, you can risk your life in Baghdad.

Included in that price: round-trip airfare from the United States, ground transportation from Jordan to Iraq, and lodging in a $10-a-night hotel where rats gnaw on the floorboards and a cluttered basement doubles as a bomb shelter.

While the Middle East braces for war, about three dozen self-described peaceniks will rotate into Iraq on renewable 10-day visas for as long as a threat exists.
