In this April 28, 1984 file photo, elementary school pupils, dressed in the standard white shirt school uniform of Iraq, leave their school in Baghdad. Scenes on the wall depict the Iraq-Iran war as a new battle between Arabia and Persia. The Iran-Iraq war launched by Iraq's Saddam Hussein after the Iranian revolution resulted in around half a million deaths. A generation was decimated in both countries.
