I was watching it, but it was taking so long to bring it down that I finally sat down at the computer. My five year old was watching and shouted "It's coming down! It's coming down"! So I ran in just as it was hitting the ground. What a great moment. I thought the American flag over the face was pretty funny, but they said their commanders probably told them to take it off. They don't want the troops seen as conquers, but as liberators.  |

When I was the evil dictator of Iraq, and the world's most hated terrorist, I had a statue just like Saddam's. It was an awful feeling when they tore it down.  |

Can you imagine what the rest of the Dictators in the middle east must be thinking?? They just joked on Foxnews that they're probably going to tell their people that the dancing Iraqis were celebrating Palestinian freedom. I bet Kim Jong of N. Korea isn't sleeping well at night either. I read yesterday China has finally felt pressured into being more firm with North Korea about its nukes. Seems to be all sorts of long term benefits that are going to come from this war. Great quote: "The lessons of Mogadisha are, there are no lessons". We were seen as weak and that is why Bin Ladan thought he could terrorize us and get away with it. I think we have finally laid that misconception to rest. I'm so proud of our troops! |

If you notice something about that when watching it, the marines had a relatively hard time getting the statue down, looks like saddam is fighting his last breath to stand.  |

The only reason we teared it down was becuase the Iraqi's wanted us to help them tear it down....so basically the Iraqi's did.....and it was pretty great to watch...expectually w/the head thing..and the big guy in the beginning hitting the base of the statue and the others trying to do what the big man did and wasn't to good. I hope Saddam is dead to save the Iraqi's anymore terror and fear...*hugs*  |

I'm glad the statue is down.....But dont plan on all of them coming home just yet......The Korean War was more than 50 years ago, and we still need 40,000 troops there to "keep the peace"..........  |
