Baghdad was a great economical and social hub for the mid east and other parts of the world. Founded in the 8th century by Caliph al-Mansur (r. 754 - 775) as the capital of the Abbasid Dynasty. My uncle has been to Baghdad before the war and during the war. He said that before (and soon after) the first gulf war that even with Saddam in power it was a great city and it seemed that people were fairly happy. It had so many cultural icons being once Mesopotamia and the fertile crescent, many of such have been looted and sold to highest bidder and sadly will never be seen again.
