Commando no. 448 | I hope you don't mind me bringing the unheard veiwpoint to this topic.
We can complain when cemetaries are vandalized, when protests turing ugly, when people burn flags, but cheer when people bring down statues of a(n) (ex)head of state.

Problem being is the statue was of a current head of state. IMO any country that erects a statue of a current leader is screwed up. The only reason the statue was up, was to intimidate the people. Make them feel they are always being watched. That is a fact in psychology. Thus the reason many dictators do it. The Iraqis were the ones that wanted it down. We just helped.
Saddam is still the head of Iraq until there is a formal surrender, it is proven he left the country or proven he is dead. He is too dangerous to think that just because he isn't visible, he doesn't have any influence on people.
R.I.P. TreyD. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
