I was once "randomly" stopped at Heathrow airport after coming back from the Middle East and my passport had visas from several countries "where bad things happen" and was asked what I thought of British troops in Iraq. Maybe the officer thought my answer to that question would somehow determine how likely it was that I would be involved in terrorist activities. I can now simply refer them to this article if I randomly get asked that random question after a random trip to the Middle East.

Hayder, left a comment with your article.
How much the British messed up in Iraq is remarkable.
Your reporting is great, but I'd like to see stuff that's being done to solve problems too. I work for an NGO that's trying to bring young people together in ways that encourage trust-building and mutual respect, and it seems like there are a lot of groups like ours that are doing good things but going unheralded. Have you seen anything along those lines that has worked really well or seems to have a lot of potential?
