Baghdad protest demands an end to US occupation of Iraq: "The choice of Firdos Square was not accidental. Following the capture of Baghdad two years ago, the US military, together with small numbers of Iraqi supporters of then US favourite Ahmed Chalabi, staged the toppling of Saddam Hussein�s statue in the same square for the media cameras. At Saturday�s demonstration, protestors mocked this piece of contrived propaganda by pulling down effigies of US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as well as Hussein."
Ok So you have seen this before. But it makes good reading for those of us opposed to Blair. I wish there was a picture of his statue being toppled though.
