Baghdad 'world's worst city'
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/3D9630AF-4683-492E-BB0E-BEF75C36E98F.htm

<snip>
A new study by a UK research company puts the occupied Iraqi capital last of 215 cities it profiled throughout the world.

Mercer Human Resource Consulting based its overall quality of life survey on political, social, economic and environmental factors, as well as personal safety, health, education, transport and other public services.

It was compiled to help governments and major companies to place employees on international assignments.

The study, released on Monday, said Baghdad is now the world’s least attractive city for expatriates.

4. I thought it was noise pollution
from the cheering in the streets.


Maybe it's a combination? :shrug:
