I Lost My Love In Baghdad (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Eleven days ago the Golden Mosque in Samarra was bombed, kicking off Iraq’s civil war. Officially, the civil war is being denied by the Americans and most of the Iraqi government. Unofficially, and in real life, everything is rapidly going to shit. I am pacing around the driveway at theNewsweek bureau, talking on my T-Mobile to Andi. I’m trying to save our vacation plans. “There’s a civil war,” she says. “It’s on Google News. I know the airport is closed. You won’t be able to get out. I’m not coming.” “The airport will be open. I’ll be there.” “No, and I can’t rebook the ticket—I checked. It costs like three thousand extra.” “I’ll pay for the ticket. Just come. I’ll be there, I promise.” “You can’t do anything about it. The airport is closed, there’s a curfew. I get CNN here, you know.” “God, please, baby, I’ll be in Vienna. I may be late a day, but I’ll make it there. A car will pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel.”
