Someone over there really DOES get it.
January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD — The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.
In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.

"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."

If they are paying with private funding, then sure. Doesn't seem like the best usage of money otherwise.

i'm sure they hae enuff materials from other statues, and i imagine they could find someone who would think it an honor to create such a statue.....why would it cost anything but time?

Sounds like one of the worst ideas in the long sad history of bad ideas.

Why do you say that? Bush liberated those people from a reign of terror rivaled only by the likes of Hilter and Stalin.

Maybe they will circle around it and throw rocks at it.

That would work. Better then blowing up people.
