I found it interesting that once they got the head of the statue the media showed a huge mass of people dragging the head down the street. Actually there were 7 Iraqis and 25 or so reporters. The whole flag thing probably hurt US relations with much of the Arab world since it was ran on virtually every front page in the world. The whole idea can easily be interpreted as an act of imperialistic behavior. I'm sure that wasn't the intent just as I'm sure that the intent isn't in the pictures of Marines in Iraqi Palace's smoking cigars.
