from Washington Post today:
"Baghdadis poured into the streets in celebration, waving at U.S.
troops and tearing down posters and busts of Hussein. In a
scene
reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Iraqis
attacked a giant
statue of Hussein with sledgehammers. With the help of U.S.
Marines who ran a cable from their tank to the 20-foot
tall statue,
they pulled it down, literally yanking the image of the
fallen leader
out of his boots."
(these are the ones I'm in solidarity with).
