The Iraqi Oil Ministry and the Iraqi Tourism Ministry are at odds over the extension of an oil pipeline that impinges on the ancient site of Babylon. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17702153
I suspect that the Iraqi Oil Ministry will win out in this dispute.
Imagine the uproar if this happened under US Military occupation.
Yet, there is none here.
