Lifestyle Geography, Religion, Greed Marked Iran-Iraq War of 1980s BY G.G. LaBELLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq In a park near the Tigris River, twin monumental sculptures with swords crossing high overhead, gripped in fists said to be modeled on Saddam Hussein's hands commemorate the long, bitter conflict that the Iraqi leader proclaimed the Qadissiya War. Saddam, who often identifies his deeds with the epic past, took the name from a famous seventh century victory of Arab Muslims over a Persian army. But Saddam's Qadissiya the 1980-88 war against Iran, the Persia of today had no such decisive outcome. It was bloody and ruinous, undermining Iraq's once-vibrant economy and setting the country on a path of conflict with former friends, both in the region and in faraway Washington. Begun with an Iraqi thrust into Iran in September 1980, the war dragged on for eight years before sputtering out in a stalemate. Popular support, grounded in ancient enmity, withered as tens of thousands of coffins arrived from the battlefields.

IRAQ GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE Iraq's geography is discussed in terms of four main regions: the desert in the west and southwest; the rolling upland between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (in Arabic, the Dijhis and Furat, respectively); the highlands in the northeast; and the central and southeastern alluvial plain through which the Tigris and Euphrates flow. Iraq's total land area is approximately 435,000 square kms. The desert zone, lying west and southwest of the Euphrates river, is a part of the Syrian Desert. The region is sparsely populated and consists of a wide stoney plain interspersed with rare sandy stretches. A widely ramified pattern of wadis runs from the border to the Euphrates. Some wadis are more than 400 kms long, and carry brief, but torrential, floods during the winter rains. The uplands region, between the Tigris north of Samarra and the Euphrates north of Hit, is known as Al Jazirah and is part of a larger area that extends westward into Syria, between the two rivers, and into Turkey. Water in the area flows in deeply cut valleys. Much of this zone may be classified as desert. The northeastern highlands begin just south of a line drawn from Mosul to Kirkuk, and they extend to the borders with Turkey and Iran. High grounds, separated by broad, undulating steppes, give way to mountains ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 m near the borders. Except for a few valleys, the mountain area proper is suitable only for grazing in the foothills and steppes; adequate soil and rainfall make cultivation possible. Iraq's largest oil fields are located near Mosul and Kirkuk.

A.D. was the site of a number of flourishing civilizations, including Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, and Babylonia. In the 8th cent., as capital of the Abbasid caliphate, Baghdad became an important center of learning and the arts. Mesopotamia fell to the Ottoman Turks in the 16th cent. The British invaded Iraq in World War I, and in 1920 the country became a League of Nations mandate under British administration. Iraq was made a kingdom under Faisal I in 1921, and the British mandate was terminated in 1932, although British military bases remained. Meanwhile, the first oil concession had been granted in 1925, and in 1934 the export of oil began. Domestic politics were marked by turbulence, and the country experienced seven military coups between 1936 and 1941. Following an army coup in 1958, Iraq became a republic under Gen. Abdul Karim Kassem. The chronic Kurdish problem flared up in 1962, when tribes demanding an autonomous Kurdistan gained control of much of N Iraq. The rebellion collapsed (1975), but intermittent warfare has continued.
