I was in Baghdad a couple years ago and wandered the city on foot for several days. I experienced the same... people would not take my money. I was in a small shop once getting some potato chips and the lady who owned the place, after asking where I was from and I responded "America", wanted to give me everything in the shop for free, started crying and told me "I love you" repeatedly. They are so thankful for toppling their brutal dictator. Things are not great there now, and they are struggling, but its worlds better than before.
