An apology and a billion dollars (735 million euros) compensation - this is the demand of the Government of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to U.S. forces. The background of the claims are not the consequences of the massive bombing during the war of 2003, but the subsequent mutilation of the cityscape and the destruction of infrastructure. "The U.S. has turned this beautiful city to ugly and destructive way to a camp that speaks of ignorance and indifference to the simplest forms of public taste," complained the city leaders on Thursday.
In particular, the establishment of the protective concrete walls would have blighted Baghdad. The walls are designed to provide protection to protect against bomb attacks, had provided, according to city management, especially for traffic jams. The water supply and sewage systems have also suffered from the walls like sidewalks and parks, said a spokesman.
The U.S. heavy-terrain vehicle had caused massive damage. The community is therefore an economic and moral damages incurred. The high gray concrete slabs are in the eight years of war to one of the common sight in Baghdad now. They were from U.S. and local troops used anywhere in Iraq to facilities to protect against bomb attacks.
During the hottest periods of the fighting all the districts have been fenced in this way. The Government has recently begun to reduce some of these walls again.

Due to poor public services, Iraq has experienced over the past week, growing citizen protests.
That is how in the Baghdad power stations and waste collection is sporadic, and sewage treatment plants have been waiting for years for their modernization.
