On the ninth of April 2003 were used by U.S. forces armored vehicles to demolish the statue of the tyrant in Firdous Square in central Baghdad which is the image that became a symbol of the end of the dictatorship in Iraq all over the world, but today seems Firdous Square where where there is only the Iraqi flag is flying, while filled with What remainder of the base of the Statue tyrant posters dating back to the election and each points to celebrate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
