I think it would be great for Anthony to go to Kurdistan, North of Iraq. I think this would be a great idea because people only know the bad stuff about the country and Anthony can turn that around. The food is awesome and the people are great. I would personally go back and give him a tour.

I agree. I just returned from a trip to the Kurdish-controlled areas of Northern Iraq as a tourist. There are some important stories to be told and good food to be eaten. It is a safe location especially compared with the security situation in the rest of the country. I received the "order one of everything on the menu" treatment from many of my hosts, including a meal in the oldest inhabited city on earth. It's tough to beat. Happy to give details privately.
