  • HEY THATS MY HOUSE!!!!! .....joking lol it would be great to just go in someones house and use there pool

  • -stares- wow.. <3 lol!

    the clip was a bit short.. O.o

  • That's pretty amazing. My best friend is Iraqi. A hint? In America, we have longer boardshorts. :)

    Salaam alaikum.

  • One must earn the right to do the things you mention. You must fight for your freedoms. If you don't fight, you are destined to be a slave to someone else.

    Which of Allah's blessings would you deny?

    Salaam alaikum.

  • they said they're useing that house while the poeple are gone, it sounds like they have permission to be there. That pool is ovbiously taken care of, you can tell the jets were running and it had to have had chemicals being put into it or it would be green

  • what some of you people are missing is that these people are attempting to show the masses that they are all just people as we are, and that it is similar this happening in their town, as it would be if it was happening in yours.  how dare you question whether or not they deserve to go swimming. you should be ashamed of yourself. go ahead and hide behind a computer screen and perish in your own ignorance.

    my goodness.. blessings to you all.

  • cool pool. i dont think many people here know how hard it is to live there

  • If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

  • Iraqis = DICK FEST

  • shut ur mouth u lil piece of crap.. wtf are you talkin about!!?? ppl are goin thro hell and u say this?? wow i seriously hope u go thro double wut they're going thro! holy shit

  • Yeah...I'm hearin' ya....spoken like the true schizophrenic Bush likely IS. I'm sure an angel came down from the sky and landed on the White House front lawn and spoke to him while throwing lillies. --rolling eyes--

  • Homeland Baghdad is excellent. It gives Iraq youth an interesting means of constructive communication. Americas can see most middle-east people are not terrorist. Most people and all religions want peace. So we the People of the World need to find away to purge ourselves of war mongers and terrorist. If we keep taking "an eye for and eye" the whole world will soon become blind!!!

  • It is amazing what you kids go through... but ya.. I find it strange there are no squatters.. what? are there no shops nearby or something? Again, Do I feel lucky to be in the USA? hell ya!

  • WOW. that pool is amazing.

    Does anyone think it's strange that this mansion is just standing there, and people come and go as they please

    Why aren't there even squatters?

  • ***BEWARE***

  • sad video, good luck to you all, stay safe and try to enjoy what you have in your life that is good, free and non violent.

  • Glad to see that they still have their heads held high thats just amazing with all the stuff they are going through how would you be if your country was under attack?

  • your Demented you superstitous bastard piss off why you got to talk shit go to another site and spread your stuff, god bless you child and your family (X3) you need it now

  • why soo many men.....I wonder

  • because women are the first targets in any danger/conflict situation. If this movie was made 10 years ago it would have had some.

  • hmmmm

  • I am an old American granny; I have grandchildren in this age group; I say let them have a little fun. All too soon, the realities of life will begin to choke their young energies.

  • it sure choked yours.

  • During my childhood I did that back in PR.

  • American soldiers are actually pretty hot in Iraq. Wearing their bulletproof gear and carrying 60 pound backpacks, plus weapons etc. Not a piecoe of cake.

    These young men should be trying to help America help them, by finding and eradicating those who murder everything they can. Shameless, swimming while their fellow countrymen are dying.Wher is the honor in this?

  • Yes, all Iraqis should forfeit their urges to enjoy life, just because we invaded.

  • We liberated, not invaded. Sadly, the Iraqi tribal system and history works against their hopes for an egalitarian life. These young men should ALSO work to help their country. I got the impression that they were shirking their responsibilities, and just blaming others for their dilemma.

  • Give these youngsters a break! They have a couple of hours of electricity a day and they live in an occupied state with death and destruction all around. Who can blame them for taking an innocent dip to cool off!

  • Do the Iraqis feel liberated or invaded. If you feel that they are incorrect about how they feel, maybe you should explain to them how you know more about what they feel than they do, you typically arrogant American boob.

  • Liberated?!  ROFLMAO!! WHAT?! You must be one of the Bush propaganda believing conservatives that just blindly accepts all the propaganda language of war we're spoon-fed here in the U.S. Ask the PEOPLE of Iraq if they are liberated or invaded and occupied.....HELLO McFLY!

  • most of this violence is iraqi on iraqi. Sunni and Shite killing each other because of some bloodline that seperated 5000 years ago. I'll bet they feel occupied, I'm not sure about invaded. I can't say for sure since I don't live there and neither can any of you, no matter what side you're on

  • Why don't you go and join the army because we have sons and daughters that need help. Otherwise, STFU! These young men are in college to be dentists and doctors. And you want them to become a police officer? Moron...

  • dude where are the chicks

  • but its a really big house...

    it must be to someone who used to work for saddam...

  • yeah, or rich ppl who just left coz things started to go heavy

  • aha...

    when i was in baghdad, my cousin used to go to the pool, but every time i ask him where..he dont answer X_X

  • This video series is great. I wish you peace and happiness. Be safe and may you be free to live your life. So many people are wishing you well.

  • these series of Hometown Baghdad videos are chilling. Brave people dealing with a fu**ed up life as best they can. Could any of us handle 3 hours of electricity at a time???

  • I was thinking the same thing, how interesting that no one has looted it or damaged it...

  • The bottom line is simple: The Americans (of which I am one) are responsible for 600,000 deaths in Iraq because they elected a fundamentally stupid president, one who didn't ask the right questions, one who couldn't see the nuances. Staying in Iraq only perpetuates the violence. The civil war won't be pretty -- and it's all America's fault. These videos are brilliant and heartbreaking.

  • Yet another reason why the Electoral College BS should be overhauled. If things had been different, the first term would have never happened, thereby avoiding a 2nd. Argh, everything about this war pisses me off.

  • COMPLETELY agree here with jammmick and Amez71...totally true, and entirely sad. BUT....we can do something to TRY to change this. Communicate with your representatives. It's the only thing we CAN do. I know it doesn't feel like much, but at least it's SOMETHING.

  • The electoral college is a safeguard set up in the constitution. It should not and will never be undone.

  • ever think that maybe this generation of terror for these people will produce hundreds of generations of peace? Civil wars dont last forever

  • I don't like how these comments on videos turn into political forums. I enjoyed this video because it shows a cool rare oasis in your town of Baghdad and just the ability to have safe fun with friends and not worry about being shot. It is funny though that with an open house, there is no looting / vandalism of the house. People just come and swim. It must not be very well known about.

  • Man, I hope that you stay safe there in Iraq. I feel very sorry for your situation over there.

  • If their safty is so important to u why u don't impeach ur president?

  • Because democracy is a tragically slow process. Believe me, some congressmen have brought up impeachment, but the process is so slow that it may be more worthwhile to pass some workable bills than to go through the tedious process of impeaching the president. He only has two years left, after all, and all the current candidates are promising a quick withdrawal. If they want to be re-elected, they'll follow through with those promises.

  • they deserve it because they don't like israel the holly land which is more important than oil and maybe we will do the same to iran because they mess with israel that's why they are evil and radical,shaloom

  • this is a really great project idea, thankyou for posting this and sorry for everything my counry's troops are doing

  • In the first place... Ausama is hot! In the second place... who cleans the pool?

  • I strongly hope one day U AmeriCUNTs taste what you caused the iraqis to taste. u completely Fucked us UP, u made us Hopeless, homeless, family-less, poor and many-more.. when we say get out you don't. what else you want? Have you got any GOD? do u have parents? do u have chilren? do u love them? if yes Iraqis and Afghans r also human beings with human feelings. Please educate ur selves and end the illigal occupations.

  • rome8022..you are from italy! suck up you are not living i iraq sooo why are you trying to speak for them?

  • I f I don't speak on behalf of those inocents who died and dying who will? U cunts? no one. u WENT for Oil and ur troops will be back soon by force and use their urines instead of OIL.

  • "We" didn't do anything. Our LEADERS did. You want to blame someone, blame them...not us. As much as I hate this war, I also hate people blaming US for it. If I could change it, I fucking would and the MAJORITY of Americans feel the same way, but WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. So knock off the hate bullshit.

  • Though the U.S. did get the ball rolling, we have no one to blame but the Iraqis for the continuing violence. It's not our fault they'd rather blow each other up than live in relative peace. Secondly, most Americans DO want to get out of Iraq. Just wait until the next presidential election.

  • what a fucking typical AmeriCUNT! what is ur target? I mean how many Iraqis u want dead and then leave? u r waiting untill next election? which Idiot would be next president? Don't blame BUSH U Cunt, Bush is a retard but U AmeriCUNTs are racist, arrogant+ignorance and shit any way. Yes wait and wait.

  • I agree that Bush is an idiot, but American politics contains more intelligent people than Italian politics. Also, we don't want to see any more Iraqis die, but protecting them from each other has proven to be a futile cause. Therefore, we would rather withdraw our troops than see any more of them die in the crossfire of a civil war that they cannot stop.

  • Out of all the comments here, yours are the most ignorant, racist, and arrogant.

  • It's really sad.  Sad that the owners left, sad that the guys can't swim in safety. Sad...just sad, and it pisses me off that it's that way!

  • U Fell Sad now? U fucking AmeriCUNTs u r educating yr self now? the whole world Hates you, not only because of destroying Iraq also u did so many things in the past and doing now. To stop hatred towards u is mission imposible. I really do sypathy with AmeriCUNTs because even with a college degree they r ignorant and don't know nothing, look at ur President!!

  • Look, don't accuse Americans of being uneducated when you can't even take the time to spell out "are you" or even "you." If I were writing in Italian, I would make sure to write in correct Italian. Also, if I weren't very sure of my Italian skills, I would have an Italian proofread it for me. I sympathy with any American who would have to proofread your messages.

  • I think you've just made your own point clearly!

  • Everyone knows that the 2000 and 2004 elections were rigged you dumbass.

  • If you can't make an intelligent comment, rome80222, why don't you just refrain entirely? "They r ignorant and don't know nothing, look at ur President," doesn't show off your intellectual prowess much. For you to attempt to say what the huge majority of Americans think or feel is ludicrous. You obviously don't know anything about the American people. I will agree with you, however, that the gov't. is horrible.

  • A pool without chics .... is this place really worth saving.... If the house were abandoned, the pool would be green stagnant!

  • Have you ever heard of chlorine? you know, the stuff people put in pools to stop them going stagnant.??

  • maybe u can do beach party there

  • THat is a really beautiful house that I guess the owners abandoned due to the turmoil it is worthless.

    Its so sad.

  • I satrongly hope one day U AmeriCUNTs taste what the Iragis are tasting now. u completely Fucked us UP

  • Funny, all you Iraqis have to do is stop blowing each other up. If you could just do that, I think things would be going a lot better for you.

  • how about you shouldn't have invaded Iraq to start with? Americans have started the mess, it's a fact.

  • Sht the fuck up....We just got you people of Iran!! The brits a to pussy to take any action on your own. I find it funny that people whine about the greatest and youngest country in the world and them turn around and ask fo our help! hahahahaha

  • what a load of old shit, a 'greatest' country doesn't behave the way america does (occupying oppressing and then people should say thank you for killing our children and our future), and you wonder why people (all around the world) hate america,

  • haha You kill your own children when you make them martyr's open your brainwashed eyes, Your fucked up Martyr child is dead whether he says Allah Akbar or takes a bullet, You think your children dont die if they call themselves martyrs open ur eyes

  • Nobody disputes that, but the Iraqis really need to start taking some personal responsibility at some point. They can't blame the U.S. forever, and at some point they're going to have to realize that THEY have more control over their future than anyone else.

  • Oh yes but they can! US is the sole reason of the utter instability, insecurity and rampant violence.

  • hahashahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­abwhwbwhwbwhwbwbwwbwhahahahabw­bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahah

    so your saying that IRaq was stable and non violent before the war omg your a fuckin idiot hahahahahahahaha

  • It was relatively stable and relatively non violent, much much better than it is today you dumb ignorant cunt.

  • You are really beginning to get on my nerves, Geek. Just shut up, do some research, and then write down a more sensible comment

  • What kind of control, when the U.S. military shoves guns in their faces all day long? We invaded and they have no way to get us out of there.

  • thats a false, every Iraqi has guns in their face 24/7, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hhaha not even close, Iraq

    has enough people to support itself they are just getting comfortable to having a bunch of body gaurds defending their asses

  • From what I can tell, it seems the U.S. isn't doing a whole lot of shoving guns in faces. I think we'd see them cooperating with us a lot more if they were really under as much pressure as you imply. Thus my point about them taking responsible control.

  • hahahaha no Mohammad started it when he made a false religion oh snap here comes the hate replies, We didnt do shit theyve been blowing themselves up for years. Im now seeing why we shouldnt have gone over there it would just be better If we just left all you motherfuckers alone so you could blow yourselves up

  • All religions are false. Anyone who believes in a religion is wrong, and many are evil for wanting to spread this disease.

  • Tell that to your fucking president and 40% of your evangelist population you decreed fuck. Hypocrite.

  • WTF Are you talking about your Italian you dickface

  • You aren't even Iraqi. How about you let them speak for themselves instead of feigning understanding of them when you don't in TRUTH have any? I "satrongly hope one day U" dumbasses that can't formulate a complete thought, will quit posting on YouTube. /sigh...guess I can dream.

  • im so sorry for what my country has done to yours

  • If we pulled out the radiculist would go on killing these people. Listen we don't really see whats up over there. Most of the Terrorist that are killed have passports from other countries.

  • almost everyone her is a racist oh and good video

  • haha, true

  • I don't blame em coz they got nowhere to go !!!

  • Nice house! Stay safe guys, we are helping to spread your message.

  • LIES LIES LIES.

    This is such false propaganda, oh my god give me a break. These people are obviously israeli posting manipulating lies over the internet.

    American UNCONDITIONAL and UNCRITICAL support for Israel is the fundamental reason for anti american hostility.

  • proof?

  • Ive felt anti american and hostile. it was cos they invaded iraq and afghanistan.

    Dont tell me what I think

  • wouldnt that pool be filthy and full of shit if nobody lived in the house? Do they maintain it themselves or what?

  • In a country where war destroys everthing I think you would be more worried about your life and the lives of the people around you rather than the state of a swimming pool that you swim in.

  • that's easier said than done.

    they aren't complaining about the state of the swimming pool. watch it again. you got the wrong message.

    they're lucky to be somewhat privileged in a country where so much worse is going on. it's still a dangerous and unfortunate situation to be in. they're already doing their bit by throwing some light on their lives and their surroundings, no matter how myopic it is with respect to the larger context in Iraq.

    please keep the good work going, fellows.

  • Would a girl be allowed to go swimming with them too?

  • All this conflict is about now is damn OIL nothing else the us/uk have found the man they was after and he is now dead the best thing we could do is now leave iraq and its surrounding areas and let them get on with life..

  • what the hell-...you dumbass swiming in my pool..i am outta my country because of the current situiation..i am defenatly coming to iraq and coming towards you..:)

  • Some people who comment on your videos are douchebags. Pretty crazy how much we take for granted, speaking from my Canadian standpoint not an American one.

  • I agree with you, although I am wondering what your comment about nationality was for. I'm an American...are you saying that we're all douchebags? That's pretty dense.

    Anyway, keep up the great vids! I hope things get better as soon for you...

  • actually most of the american population are douchebags

    because its such a large country your bound to have large amount of stupid people , sorry no offence fro those that actually know stuff.

  • you mean know stuff, like knowing how to spell?

  • Good one, gaisee! Actually, j4ck3t, most of the people in the world are stupid. Besides that, mainly only stupid people get air on tv, so that certainly doesn't help the picture either...

  • True that...the only thing that gets put on TV is propaganda, and stupid people...and that's in every country, well, unless you're in N. Korea, then you only have 1 channel.

  • If your gonna comment on someones spelling, at least start your scentence with a capital....

  • Okay...new sentence...

    Austin is the capital of Texas. How's that?  I started a sentence with a capital. But, in all honesty, there is a difference between being lazy and not capitalizing, and incorrect spelling you ass. Also, you spelled SENTENCE wrong.

  • Well just to let you know there are many of us americans who are not douchebags and are very upset with what is going on with our government. They say our vote counts but it is usually who ever has the most money wins

  • He didn't imply American's were douche bags. His comment on Nationality was to show that he lives in Canada which is a direct reference to what he previously said about taking stuff for granted.

    Learn how to comprehend written literature..

  • I would agree with you if s/he had said "my Canadian standpoint" and stopped there. The reality is that they said, "Pretty crazy how much we take for granted, speaking from my Canadian standpoint not an American one." Notice the part tacked to the end? Learn how to comprehend written word.

  • Thank-you for sharing a portion of your lives with us. I wish I could wipe away all the injustice in the world so you can go to a public pool safely. This is one American who wants peace for you all!! Ignore the nasty comments people make,please!

  • you keep bringing up the fact that men have body hair. you're either a woman or a metro-sexual fruitcake who waxes like a woman.

    you probably moan like a woman whenever your beauty spa chit-chatting, recipe-trading, beer-retrieving bitch friend waxes your nuts and systematically takes your manhood away cloth strip at a time.

  • dont be a cunt

  • Hey, Ragnar, you don't have to counter bananasky's xenophobia with your own homophobia. I was thinking along the same lines, but I was going: YUMMY which made me feel icky and guilty given the gravity of their situation.

  • you keep bringing up the fact that men have body hair. you're either a woman or a metro-sexual fruitcake who waxes like a woman.

  • wow, someone's insecure

  • These are interesting videos, but I would like to see how the lower class are dealing with unfotunate situations in Iraq. Sorry for Bush, Sadaam, and Osama.

  • People hate on Sadaam a lot .. sure he was an oppressive ruler .. but he did build a Nation out of fighting factions.

  • These are very good videos... better than the sum total of all media reports which all seem to want to make Iraqis seem so foriegn. When really there is a commonality I think that it is good for people to see.

  • Good luck to the brave guys in the video...Im sorry for all the american Jack asses that make stupid comments on this site

  • Thank you for sharing these fragments of your lives with us...good luck to all of you and your loved ones.

  • thats a nice house

  • thanks a lot america

  • Your welcome, here have flag it's made in Korea!

  • uumm can i join!!!!

  • if that was in england or america loser kids would have trashed the place and covered it in taqgs and graffiti. its interesting that in this case the house seems to be in good condition still.

  • Not only are they not trashing it, but it looks like they are cleaning it and keeping it chlorinated too.

  • Umm they trashed it.. they didnt clean it... if you walk the streets in Iraq you better have a nice vest on and some armed guards.

  • Great videos.Keep up the good work

  • The house and the pool didn't look like abandoned to me. Not very long time at least.

  • Thanks, white people :(

  • You might as well say all arabs are terrorists or all black people live in slums. I mean, what the fuck.

    Equality goes both ways

  • To all Iraqis I pray that your long culture survive this brutal war, let no western occupying force, foreign Muslim force, destroy your vast historic culture.

  • So everythings jackanory

  • Hey the videos are amazing thanks :) on the hometownbaghdad website it says this is Episode 8 of 45.but i can only find 8. Anyone know if any more were made? Thanks

  • lots were made they're just coming out little by little.

  • Hey guys, you're doing something extremely important here. I'm a Swedish young film maker and I've seen lots of stuff at the internet... But this, this is what it's for! Thx, I'll be watching from now on.

  • Its too bad 'thinking' is rare amoungst soldiers. Its no Bush sending troops to Iraq. Its the soldier complicity thats sent them there. The soldiers can leave whenever they want, if they only knew.

  • they are bound my contract... they can choose to not go... but once they sign the paper they are outta here.

  • Hey, Get out of my house!

  • This is a nice house and the water appears to be filtered and clear. Any body of water would be cloudy and foul in the heat of the Baghdad desert without adequate filtration, cleaning & maintenance. Even the pool deck looked like it was well maintained. This requires electricity and chlorination. I would certainly agree with that living in NYC would be the least peaceful area in the states to live, but still better than living in Baghdad.

  • It's good to see Iraqis starting to live normal lives. It shows that we are winning.

  • I hope this is a joke. They go swimming in the pool of an abandoned house because they can't go to public pools for fear of it being bombed and that's normal?

  • Wow, The Bronx

  • its normal for them

    times are changing

    the worlds really fucked up right now
