How much worth Iraqi dinar when revalue end 2010?
No one knows, not even those in Iraq yet. lol With so many delays in forming government, with each delay the oil prices are going up, and as with a week ago, the dollar was dropping, and now artificially raised by fed announcement they were printing 70 billion more funny money, so day to day markets will end up impacting the value of the dinar when it finally does revalue.
My personal opinion is it will be on par with dollar, so given the value of dollar finally went back to 80, expect the dinar to be close to a dinar to dollar level, not must more at this point, but do not cash in all your dinar for this is just the initial revalue to test market reaction as I see it.
Simply put, hold onto your dinar and only cash what you need to get out of debt or pay for what you need and cannot wait for, such as better car or whatever depending on how much you are holding. As I see it, this first revalue will flush out all those who have been holding dinar for years, so don't cash all your dinar in or you will regret it. It is no secret Iraqi officials have always said they wanted to restore dinar to former levels, and that means it will rise to $3.22 range, so keep that in mind for the dollar is about to collapse under the weight of unheard of debt, and with China no longer investing in our worthless treasure bonds, the end of the road is in sight, so hold any currency other than dollars. Loonies would be my best advice if you feel you must cash out, but remember, you heard it hear, hold your dinars.

What happened when perisian armies moved into Baghdad in 945?
In 945, Persian armies, specifically the Buyids, captured Baghdad, marking a significant shift in power in the region. The Buyids, a Shiite dynasty, took control of the Abbasid Caliphate, effectively reducing the Caliph's authority and establishing a period of de facto rule over the city. This event led to a fragmentation of political power and the rise of regional dynasties, contributing to the decline of the Abbasid influence in the Islamic world. The Buyids also promoted Persian culture and administration, further altering the socio-political landscape of Baghdad.
Basically yes, it has many natural resources and is a fertile area. Given political stability Iraq will become a great place to be a citizen of. Remember Iraq has a glorious history in which its ancient peoples were the most powerful and wealthy on earth - it is the land of ancient 'Mesopotamia'.
