True story is not quite so touching.
He was forced to help make the bronze sculptures of Saddam that were eventually melted to make this. Indeed, he hated Saddam, but he also dislikes the Americans because his uncle was killed during the war. He wants us out of there. He basically did it for the money. Something like $8000 for the soldier kneeling before the rifle/helmut, then a larger amount to add the girl.
Read the recent WSJ article. He didn't do this out of gratitude.

Read the recent WSJ article. He didn't do this out of gratitude. I read it and re-read it. I must be going blind because I could not find any mention of him doing it for money, Could you please post?
