January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD -- The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad--who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties--says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.
In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.
"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."
[...]
"My life is cheap," Fadel said. "Everything is cheap for my country."
[...]
"We have a lot of work and we are especially grateful to the soldiers of the U.S.A. for freeing our country of tyranny," Fadel said.
