Afraid that the US and Britain will abandon them, the people of Safwan did not touch the portraits and murals of Saddam Hussein hanging everywhere. It was left to the marines to tear them down.

Typical guardian reporting.

Is that a Safwan resident beating saddam in the nose with his shoe?

Your #20: Is that a Safwan resident beating saddam in the nose with his shoe?

That is exactly what it is. I saw the video. The American soldier in the picture was tearing down the poster from right to left, and the resident came up and hit Saddam's nose several times with his shoe, then put the shoe back on his foot, a big smile on his face.
