There was "pandemonium" at the Rabia border crossing as thousands of civilians converged on what was one of the only two entry points into Syria on Sunday.
According to witnesses, the congestion was the result of the closure of the Iraqi border since February 14, when authorities implemented a new security crackdown in the capital Baghdad.
The border reopened late on Saturday.
Families with young children pleaded with Iraqi border officials to process their passports but the seven employees manning the crossing were clearly overwhelmed, travellers told Al Jazeera.
It is clear that these Iraqis don't have a lot of faith in the new Bush plan to tamp down violence.
The question is, what do they know that we don't know?
