And who says the little things do matter the most.
Each picture - each statue and each reference to this man that is destoryed is one more battle won.

I don't know if ya'll saw it this morning on tv - but an Iraq man was holding a picture of sadamn and another man walked up and lifted his outfit I know I'm being politically incorrect -the white tunic- I'm not sure what they call it in front of Sadamn's face. I couldn't believe it.

What made this even more significant was the fact that Iraqi people were helping to bring it down, and several were throwing things at the statue and appeared if one actually spat on it ... very significant gesture from the Iraqi crowd IMO.
