"On the 9th of April (2003) ... the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square was toppled," Army Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch told reporters. "Sometimes we get so caught up in the event of the day ... we forget progress has been made over the last three years." Saddam's regime was toppled and now Saddam is being tried in an Iraqi court, Lynch said. Iraqis people have drafted and ratified a constitution and are working to form a national unity government, as well.
