Sorry buddy, but I have to disagree. A MOAB would put up such a bomb blast, that the elegance of the destruction of the statue of Saddam would be lost in all the carnage.
I think it would just be more elegant for there to be no warning, and all of a sudden the statue of Saddam just disintegrates as it falls into a thud, as amazed drivers go traipsing around the circle, and Ahmed swears profusely.... but that is just me.
I would personally like to see this one statue in the middle of the traffic circle left standing -- for the liberated Iraqi people to take down themselves. Like when the Berlin Wall came down. We didn't do it, THE PEOPLE did it. It would really empower them.
