Baghdad falls to US forces
Here is how the BBC is reporting the decline of the despot:
"Crowds are trying to topple a vast statue of Saddam Hussein
The government of Saddam Hussein has lost control over Baghdad, with the advance of US forces into the centre of the capital.US tanks drove unhindered into public squares on the eastern bank of the Tigris for the first time, including the area surrounding the Palestine hotel, where the international media are based.
As word spread, people began congregating in the square in front of the hotel.
The largely calm crowd is trying to pull down a huge statue of Saddam Hussein with a rope and a sledgehammer. "
Let us give thanks to those who made this possible.
