Iranian soldiers release pigeons of peace as they carry coffins to their side of
the border with Iraq, near the town of Fakke, 400 km 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 Sagolj
