The only major Iraqi government building
U.S. didn't bomb was the ministry of oil building in Baghdad and
the Conference Palace. In fact, the U.S. sent troops to protect
it (but not the Museum of Antiquities...) At the entrance (right
side) and surrounding walls, the U.S. military has placed soldiers,
tanks and machine gun positions to protect the ministry. Most Iraqis
believe the US invasion is about oil, not about liberation; many
believe Saddam is an "Ali Baba" - a thief - but go on to say that
the U.S. is a even bigger "Ali Baba."
