09/17/2004 06:56 AMUSATODAY.com - Luma Anwar and her mother arrived at the passport
office at 3 a.m. one day last week.It wasn't early enough. After 12
hours in line, they were nowhere near the front.It was their third
attempt to get a passport for Anwar, who plans to drive to Amman
before flying to Detroit to meet her husband-to-be. The passport will
have to wait for another day."If I could just get my passport, I'd be
the happiest woman in the universe," says Anwar, 24.The right to
travel was one of the most enticing of the freedoms Iraqis looked
forward to after the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime. It has also
been one of the most agonizingly elusive.Under Saddam, getting
permission to travel could take up to a year and was mostly reserved
for privileged members of the government or their families.Since they
became available June 22, about 500,000 passports have been issued.
But harried clerks can't keep up with demand and every day there are
long lines and frustrated people.Baghdad's gleaming international
airport terminal has been renovated by U.S. taxpayers at a cost of
nearly $39 million dollars. But more than a year after the fall of
Saddam, only a couple charter flights use the airport. And even the
civilian planes use evasive tactics to avoid surface-to-air missiles
when landing.Iraqi Airways had planned to resume flying this Saturday
from Baghdad to Amman, Jordan and Damascus, Syria. Saturday's flight
would have been the nation's first international commercial flight
since 1990, when U.N. sanctions were imposed after Iraq invaded
Kuwait.Alas, the airline remains grounded, unable to secure airspace
permission from the U.S.-led coalition."All of our efforts to fly out
of Iraq have been futile," says Isaac Esho, the airline's deputy
director general.
