Iranian soldiers hold their weapons as
Iraqi troops carry coffins with the remains of victims of the war
between two countries, near the town of Fakke, 400 kilometrers (240
miles) southeast of Baghdad, September 17, 2002. The armies of Iraq
and Iran exchanged 120 coffins containing the remains of victims of
their fierce 1980-1988 war. Iraq's 1980 invasion of Iran has been
repeatedly cited by U.S. leaders as an example of what they call the
danger posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. More than a million
people were killed in the ensuing eight-year war. REUTERS/Damir
