Yes, Taravb, I noticed today on several local papers down here that they used this photo. Its very similar to the statue of Lenin when the Soviet Union disbanded. It will be used as a symbol.

I noticed the absence of women on both this photograph and on the occassion where Saddam was walking around the bombed area. Is this a cultural phenomena? Women don't congregate with the men on political rallies type of events? I'll have to look it up.
