No Entry for Saddam Hussein at Iraqi Stamp Show !

A stamp Exhibition was recently held at Baghdad Central Post Office, organised by the Ministry of Communications to commemorate the 87th year of Iraq joining the Universal Postal Union.

Famous figures from Hitler to the first king of Iraq and the Penny black were exhibited, but the government rejected the stamps that had portraits of Saddam Hussein, saying that they represent the blackest hours of Iraqi history.
