Family’s probably wishing they’d sprung the bucks for a perpetual care contract.

You need a massive pyramid to serve as a tomb if you plan on being a Middle East despot. It can shrug off a few artillery shells.

I can’t understand why he had a tomb?

Should have wrapped him in pigskin and dumped him in the ocean.
Like Obama ordered for Osama.

I can’t understand why he had a tomb? I think he had it built when he was in power. I don't believe he's buried there.

That makes sense. Do they even know where he is buried?
To: Red_Devil 232
He is still very popular in his home town and many Sunni Arab areas, especially since the Iraqi government became shia sectarians. In hindsight, not Iraq and the world would have been a better place if we had left the moustachioed bastard in place.
