Saddam's Statue Topples

What do I know?
I know that this is Saddam's Statue located in Baghdad that fell April 9, 2003. Taking down the statue was encouraging to me.
The 12-metre tall Statue was one of Iraq's newest Sculptures erected in honor of Saddam Hussein's 65th birthday in April of 2002. In May of 2003 a group of Iraqi artists raised a new statue where Saddam used to stand. The Iraqi artists describe, "the new sculpture is seven metres (23 feet) high and shows a symbolic Iraqi family holding aloft a crescent moon and a sun."The event was initially broadcast as a spontaneous show of Iraqi joy at the overthrow of the Saddam regime. It was at first reported that Iraqi civilians where trying to pull down the statue and only later were they helped by American military. It was later revealed that rather than an Iraqi inspired event it was stage managed American plan from a psychological operations team.  Retrieved by: http://www.famouspictures.org/mag/index.php?title=Fall_of_Saddam_Hussein's_Statue
