Iraqi Kadhem Sharif is reflected in the
Baghdad, IRAQ: Iraqi Kadhem Sharif is reflected in the mirror of one of his 40 Harley Davidson motorcycles in his garage in central Baghdad, 08 April 2006. The 53-year-old former power lifting champion is fully aware that his passion for one of the most recognizable symbols of the American way of life is not to everybody's liking in post-war Iraq. Known to his friends as "Mr. Muscle", Kadhem was one of the first to rush to Baghdad's Fardus Square 09 April 2003 and pictures of the burly Shiite hacking away at the marble plinth of Saddam's giant statue were beamed live around the world in one of the most enduring images of the regime's ouster. But three years after the toppling of a statue of Saddam, Iraq seems to be sliding ever deeper into chaos, and is teetering on the brink of a sectarian civil war.
