I’m referring to the type of propoganda portraits seen [here](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/021014/168/2fy6w.html&e=10&ncid=996), particularly the far portrait (I don’t want one with a swastika on it, naturally). I’m looking for Saddam surrounded by adoring children, Saddam in a cap and gown, Saddam looking like a military hero – that sort of thing. I’ve already done the requisite google and ebay searches, which turned up nothing. Thanks, Jer ---

When I was a kid and wanted a map of Wyoming, I wrote to the state chamber of commerce. Have you considered contacting the Iraqi embassy? Do we still have an Iraqi embassy? 😕 ---

You mean like a big wall poster? You can’t just Copy and Paste something off the Internet, print it out? What do you want it for? Saddam as Eliot Ness. [http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2001/516/saddam.jpg](http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2001/516/saddam.jpg) ---

IIRC, we don’t have an Iraqi embassy here anymore. I doubt they’d be in the poster business anyway, unfortunately. **DDG** : > [@](#): > > What do you want it for? For show. I think it would be an excellent thing to have on my wall. Subtle (or not-so-subtle, perhaps) irony. **Bromley** : Thanks for the link. Check out out the portrait of Saddam with the doves in picture #6. Frankly, that’s awesome. ---

> [@](#): > > IIRC, we don’t have an Iraqi embassy here anymore. I doubt they’d be in the poster business anyway, unfortunately. Maybe not, but we do apparently have [a “mission”](http://www.iraqi-mission.org/). And while they themselves may not be in the poster business, they may be able to direct you to someone who is. It’s worth a shot, if you’re really interested. ---
