What should be done with Saddam´s palaces?

THIS IS NOT A WAR THREAD PLEASE DO NOT TROLL ABOUT WAR HERE

What do you guys think that would be best to do with Saddam´s palaces? Since so much money were poured into it, money that won´t comeback, maybe giving them a good use could sort of "repair" the damage done by Saddam.

I think they should be transformed into government buildings, like museums, libraries, and even a not-so-lavish presidential palace. The most extravagant stuff like sports cars, whiskeys and gold furniture could be sold at auction in Las Vegas (sleep at Saddam´s bed for only 500.000!!). Or maybe something should be spared at a museum?

A very beutiful old railway station was transformed into an excellent concert house in São Paulo, so I think adapting buildings are possible.

I think we need to bomb Syria.

I would rather sh!t in Saddam's bed than sleep in it. But I agree those palaces should be repaired and turned into some public benefit for thi Iraqi people.

I'll take one. My apartment is a dump.

I believe that they should be turned into libraries.

As an aside, I also think that various religious buildings in western cities should also be turned into libraries.

for a reasonable price we can discuss it

I've seen today Saddam's weekend residence on the news, near Tikrit. It has suffered pretty much, and most furniture is ruined, but it seems to be cheaply rebuildable.

Make them swimming pools. All of them.

I have told my friends that they should be become a museum. Charge a few bucks for us to go see and give the money to the people that he hurt.

For some reason I've been thinking about this question myself.

Many of the palaces are so large that even after repeated bombings large portions of them look like new and the rest seems repairable.

The ones in Baghdad can be used as government buildings: Iraq needs at least one presidential palace and maybe some new ministry buildings. They can also be given to universities and/or converted into libraries and museums.

There are some out in the countryside that are in areas too sparsely populated to be accessible to large numbers of people, those are hard.

Maybe we could convert some into lavish hospitals.

Odd, good man.
