Iraqi's really do hate us....

according to the news. But when you get your news from Marines in Iraq, the story changes quickly.

Kalat Statue

This is one that all Americans ought to see!
This picture of the statue above was made 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.

This artist was so grateful that the Americans liberated his country, he melted 3 of the fallen Saddam heads and made a memorial statue dedicated to the American soldiers and their fallen comrades.

Kalat worked on this night and day for several months. To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl
giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

It is currently on display outside the palace that is now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be
shipped to and shown at the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas.
