After the war in Iraq statues

From 1979 to 2003, Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq, twenty-four years. During this period, he experienced the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf War and the invasion of the United States, from the mighty to self-destruction. So, he left behind something? For everyone visible countless stone statues and Monument. These the bronze stone carving of things and was known as Saddam's "spiritual heritage". How to treat these heritage is a hot issue in the reality of political life in Iraq.
Saddam's "spiritual heritage" scattered across Iraq, the place where most capital Baghdad. Baghdad political and commercial center of the Arab Empire from the mid-8th century AD, and later developed into the center of the Arab-Islamic civilization. The city has built the mosque a few hundred seats, has been referred to as the "Mosque City. In July 1979, Saddam Hussein became President of Iraq, and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. At this time, a time when large-scale development of the Iraqi oil, rolling in petrodollars of Saddam mind expansion. To the founding of the Arab Empire Ayyubid dynasty monarch Saladin from most wanted to be the overlord of the Persian Gulf and the Arab world, leaving a legacy. September 22, 1980, he represented the Iraqi war to Iran, and the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war. In eight years during the war, Saddam Hussein on the one hand preach Iraq "brilliant victory" achieved on the battlefield, on the one hand, the massive construction projects in the rear, to build their own statues and war memorials. "Iraq Memorial building" a book of Samir Khalili said Saddam "the first to own to determine the winner of the war, to establish the image of their own" great leader ", will soon turn Iraq into" The statue of the ocean, the Baghdad Monument City.
The most famous in all of Iraq's Saddam statue, also the last built one stands in Baghdad's Paradise Square. This bronze statue is seven meters high, is built Saddam's 65-year-old birthday, April 28, 2002. However, time is less than one year, on April 9, 2003, U.S. troops captured Baghdad, first of all put it or leave it. This immediately set off a chain reaction across the country hundreds of Buddha statues of "great leader" were removed. The removal of Saddam's statue soon comes to want to remove some of the monuments built by Saddam era.
In early 2005, the Government of Iraq to establish "clear the remains of the Baath Party, and to consider the establishment of a new monument committee" if you want to remove some monuments devoted to the problem. The Committee consists of personnel from different ethnic and sectarian First review on dozens of monuments built in Baghdad Saddam era. The large bronze murals of some buildings, such as the wall described Baath Party history wall, a tribute to the monument of Iraqi prisoners of war in the Iran-Iraq war, the Commission does not dispute, decided to immediately dismantle. However, some buildings, especially in Baghdad, the most famous of the three landmark - the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, the Monument to the Martyrs and the Arc de Triomphe, in the course of the discussion, the Commission has a different view.
Monument of the Unknown Soldier in the the Baghdad the city Zula park nearby. Originally, in saa Dayton Street, built in 1959, there is a statue of the Unknown Soldier. It is dedicated to the history of Iraq all the unknown soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the defense of the motherland. Soon the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, Saddam's request to re-built a specially dedicated to the unknown soldiers sacrifice in this war. Therefore, people monument conventionally called the new Unknown Soldier Monument. Monument built in a conical hill 250 meters in diameter. Hills is said to be according to the instructions of Saddam, a lot of dirt piled shipped from the Iran-Iraq war front. The center of the hill, is a like a large disk hanging in mid-air. Disc diameter of 42 meters and weighs 550 tons, from side to hold up the cornerstone of a 12-meter, and ground to form a 12-degree angle of inclination. Disc appearance of bread with a layer of brass, the inner surface by some of the copper alloy of the pyramid-shaped module blocks. From afar, the disc facing the sunrise bloom like a sunflower. The Iraqis commonly known as its to volley flew tray, hanging in midair lid ". The disc represents traditional weapons and shields in Iraq. Warriors armed with shields in fighting with the enemy, the shield into the air before dying. Just below the shield, placed in a 4 m long rectangular box-shaped coffin, the symbol of the unknown soldiers of those buried underground in shield protection is rest.
The monument was designed by Iraqi sculptor Khalid Al - Rahal and supervision of construction was completed in 1982. Twenty years, there has been the place of the Iraqis on holidays to pay their respects. The monument is built to comply with the will of Saddam, the Review Committee has not proposed demolition. Iraqi newspapers reported that people just want to dilute the connotation of the Iran-Iraq war, the monument, as the country devotees pay homage to monumental Chinese dynasties. Of course, this also includes the U.S. military invasion of Iraq manufacturing many "unknown soldier".
In this unknown soldier monument to be completed soon, and the construction of a martyrs' monument in Baghdad. Martyrs Monument was built in the amusement park in the east of downtown. Iraq's famous artist Muhammad Aitken - Tuer Ji design, the construction of Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation. Central in a huge artificial lake, the construction of a 190 m diameter circular platform. The center of the platform erected two huge, 40 meters in diameter and sky blue hemisphere. Two hemispheres by shiny ceramic tile mosaic on the reinforced concrete skeleton, towering relative standing, a symbol of the soul of the deceased in the freedom of flying. Iraqis usually always joked that, this is a eggshell neatly turned into two halves and put it there. In fact, each half of the representatives are a representative of the mosque's dome, but the dome no buckle release, but erected. The designers obviously learn from the traditional Islamic Architecture of beauty, the use of the Western modern sculpture techniques to be abstract. This sculpture called the Arab and Western collusion, has been highly appreciated the famous British the sculptor Kanniess • Armitage.
The Iran-Iraq war is the worst fighting in the World War II, the most destructive war. According to conservative estimates, the direct economic losses caused by the war to both sides is about $ 600 billion, while the number of casualties on both sides are not the same, is generally estimated that about 60 million war dead, injured more than 100 million. Iraq, the majority of people killed in 1983 Iran launched a large counterattack. Martyrs Monument was completed in 1983, is actually a pre-built for the large number of war dead. Below the monument built memorial, the walls of which are brick with slate. Each to a certain time, put the number of war dead names engraved into the above. The rows name, with Arabic writing, in alphabetical order. Which both Arabs and Kurds, both Sunni Muslim, Shiite Muslim, there are a small number of Christians. On the ground between the two hemispheres, a group the night of the burning flame, a symbol of the martyrs live forever the spirit of sacrifice for the country.
