Salon.com News | Entire nation of Iraq on list of endangered sites: "A Roman aqueduct in Spain, New York City's hotly debated 'lollipop building' at 2 Columbus Circle and the entire country of Iraq are among the World Monuments Fund's list of 100 most endangered sites.

'This is the first time we have listed a country as endangered, and I think that we can all understand that every site in Iraq that is significant in terms of cultural heritage is at risk today,' Bonnie Burnham, president of the World Monuments Fund, said Tuesday. Thousands of important sites in Iraq, known as the cradle of civilization, are at risk from war, looting and neglect, Burnham said."
