Jazz,
A unique sidenote is that the artist painted this mural with his FEET. Really...it's true. After having his arms blown off in the first Gulf War by coalition forces (i'm sure grant mind find some article or picture to support this inhumanity), Saddam generously sent him to an art school in Baghdad where he learned to paint with is feet. He couldn't do it with his mouth because saddam extracted all his teeth as punishment for losing his arms to the coalition! But, Saddam the benevolent, sent him to the art school with the sole purpose of rendering anti american murals in neighboring iraqi towns...It is rumored by spanish cureators that he may be the next "Pie'caso"...(Pie, of course, is spanish for feet)...however, no one can find this talented iraqi...
Interesting, isn't it?
