	FRONTLINE: the lost year in iraq: analysis: inside the green zone \| PBS
		I would sometimes go into the Green Zone after a particularly rough day outside, because it was a place you could go in and sort of feel happy.
		The complaints you hear in the Green Zone are the cable TV channels aren't very good; somebody is showing German chess matches at night on one of the cable channels.
		People, particularly the journalists who were based in Baghdad, tended to think that the only information we had was the people in the Green Zone, because they're the only people they saw, because the journalists didn't travel out to the provinces.

	Welcome to the Green Zone
		Saddam's Green Zone residence was a little farther downriver, and is not to be confused with the massive 258-room Republican Palace, which was his workplace, and is currently the headquarters of the American occupation.
		People in the Green Zone talked about democracy, and they believed in it in the long run, but for many of them the more immediate operative belief was that the potential for personal wealth and comfort could be made to prevail over all other forces in Iraqi society.
		One twist in the Green Zone's culture is that even as the residents learned not to overreact to the inbound rounds, they grew increasingly fearful of the enemy that was firing them.

	Greening Your Green Zone
		Green Zones need to be defined at a scale that average people can claim and within which individuals and their institutions, like churches, can bring about change.
		What makes the zone truly "green" is that it is a sphere in which citizens have a heightened consciousness of the local and planetary environmental effects of their decisions and act collectively to shift them in a green direction.
		Green Zones are also economic zones, where monetary decisions have both immediate and far-ranging impacts on the environment.

	Inside the Green Zone - Salon
		The bridge, named for the day of the 1958 military coup in Iraq that ousted the monarchy of King Faisal II, is one entry point into Baghdad's now infamous "Green Zone," the place where the Coalition Provisional Authority, hunkered down behind a multimile diameter of concrete barriers and military checkpoints, runs this country.
		In October, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Americans shrunk the Green Zone perimeter and opened the 14th of July Bridge to general traffic, enabling Iraqis who live in the neighborhood to come and go as they pleased.

		A huge green zone proposed for land release areas on the city's north-west and south-west fringe looks certain to be dumped after a backlash from landowners angry their properties would not be considered for housing subdivisions.
		The proposed zone, which comprised 30 per cent of the areas targeted for 160,000 dwellings near Baulkham Hills and Liverpool, has sparked protest recently, prompting the Premier, Morris Iemma, to declare he would intervene to ensure a different outcome.
		Much criticism of the land release program has centred on flaws in the way in which green zone areas were identified.

		Still others are returning Green Zone hands, trading certainties among themselves with a familiarity bred in the relative safety and isolation of their fortress lives within the sprawling American compound at the center of Baghdad.
		In truth, the fact that the large contractors are sitting inefficiently in the Green Zone is of little direct consequence to the war outside.
		What is of consequence, paradoxically, is that they are not entirely inactive: despite the hazards, they continue to pursue some reconstruction projects in the city and beyond, and these projects—intermittent, inconclusive, and unconvincing to the intended beneficiaries, ordinary Iraqis overwhelmed by anarchy—require visits by the contractors' expatriate technicians and construction managers.

		The Green Zone suicide bombings remain under investigation, but officials said they thought the bombs were hand-carried into the 3-square-mile compound, a feat that would have required getting past several U.S. military checkpoints or bypassing them altogether.
		Iraqis in markets near the Green Zone said the explosion proved that the Americans weren't in control of the security situation.
