The image is of a neighborhood in Sadam Hussein;s home town, Tikrit. Take a gander at the homes in this and other Tikrit neighborhoods, and it becomes clear these people enjoyed Sadam's favor more than anywhere else in Iraq.

Funny you mention this place. You are showing Saddam's actual boyhood neighbohood (Ouija). Good eye.

Other than the fact it stood out for its opulance, the selection of Saddam's actual neighborhood was purely coincidental.
