That all depends on whether we are willing to bomb a United Nations World Heritage Site or not. Those reconstructed historic sites of his would be pretty good places for a despot to tuck his bunkers... remember the furor when the Taliban took out those Buddhas? Europe was more incensed about that than about all the poor people who were getting their limbs chopped off in the name of Allah. Or, he may be tucking his hideouts beneath hospitals.

Huh?! The only United Nations World Heritage Site in Iraq are the ruins of the ancient Parthian capital of Hatra (City of the Sun). I've been there back in 1986. Here's a picture of this fearsome 'bunker' fortress....

I don't get what the point of your comment is, unless you just have something against archaeology or the arts. Especially since Hatra is up in the middle of the Kurdish held region where Saddam & his guards no longer dare tread....
