In hopes of raising enough money to safely relocate his
family, a young Iraqi says he is launching an advertising-backed whistlestop tour of
the United States in 2008. Busvertiso is the dream of Mody Jabar, a 19-year-old
living in Spain. He plans to take a customized bus to 100 U.S. cities, where he will
drive around to get attention for the  sponsor ad s emblazoned on the bus’s
exterior screens. Jabar says he came up with idea after one of his brothers was shot by militia gunmen and his sister developed a chronic kidney infection.
