Some Awesome Images

There were some emotional images posted around various sites on the net. These were taken in Baghdad.

I was watching on TV this morning as the big burly wrestler looking guy pounded away at the concrete base of the Saddam statue. He was doing some serious damage to it. Suddenly, a smaller man comes up and stops him. He then takes up the sledge and starts pounding it. After that, several different people do similar. None of them were able to do as much damage as the man in the image. But, it was all symbolic. The statue was finally toppled with the assitance of the U.S. Marines who were greeted warmly by the people here who were trying to topple the statue.
