This
statue was created by an Iraqi
artist named Kalat, who for
years was forced by Saddam Hussein
to make the many hundreds of
bronze busts of Saddam that
dotted Baghdad.
Kalat was so grateful
for the Americans liberation
of his country; he melted 3
of the heads of the fallen Saddam
and made the statue as a memorial
to the American soldiers and
their fallen warriors. Kalat
worked on this memorial night
and day for several months. |
