I'm sure the bloke who made the statue in the first place would have been able to remove Saddam with a hacksaw and a bit of lifting gear. And probably happy to do so.

I'm glad these guys weren't around at the Fall of the Roman Empire. Or let loose in the National Portrait Gallery - there are some vicious bastards on the walls in there you know...

Good manners would have been to leave it to the Iraqis to decide what to do with these things.
