Just part of the totalitarian nightmare - having Big Brother's image all over the place. I'm glad they're tearing them down.
Nice new pic, btw.

I also agree, although I hope it's not premature.
In a situation where there is an obvious language barrier, it sends a strong message that Saddam is going down.

Good thing the Brits are doing this. If the US destroyed the statues, the leftwing media would be accusing us of cultural desecration.
To: Enemy Of The State
It's important and symbolic we start destroying them. There are plenty of statues and pictures of Saddam left for the Iraqi's to enjoy destroying.
To: Enemy Of The State
We must have victory, and I accept their actions in this case as part of an overall stategy to achieve that victory.
The British dealt the bad guys a psychological blow as well as bringing them out into the open and exposing them to gunfire etc. I think they are doing a fabulous job.
To: MediaMole
Why can't the US do the same to Saddam's arch? (lower right Glad someone else wonders the same thing.
This arch (often called the world's ugliest monument) is a personal creation of the megalomaniac, and its destruction would be a great psychological move.
To: not-an-ostrich
It's too bad the right wing wackos of this country and England don't see the beauty in cultures other than their own. They want to destroy a unique arab culture and replace it with a sanitized white bread money grubbing so-called culture

Dont misunderstand me. The Britts are doing a fantastic job and Im as proud of them as I am our own troops. With the world full of backstabbers for allies, Im glad the Britts are on our side. Like GW said, the cards have been played and now we know where everyone stands!
The US and the Britts have stood shoulder to shoulder since we won our independence. There is a link on my profile "The Canton War". Check it out, you'll see that its not the first time the other countries have taken the cowardly way out while the Britts and the Americans stood together.

Aren't you overlooking a little disagreement around 1812?
I seem to remember something about the White House being torched.
