Remember the scene where thousands of Iraqis took to the streets and cheered when US soldiers toppled the statue of Saddam? Check out these photos:
I wasn't there so I can't speak to the authenticity for these pictures. Nevertheless, I don't think the world got the full picture on what occurred. I think that's really unfortunate, especially since the statue image was hand-picked by the press to symbolize the end of the war and will, almost certainly, appear in school textbooks a few years down the road.
