Art and the common (Iraqi) man

It has been called everything from a victory to a debacle but now we find out, courtesy of US Major General William Caldwell that it is really an unfinished" work of art". It is such a relief to know that once the military mission was accomplished that the hard graft of splattering paint got underway.

If we're lucky and the artist dies in a car accident and there's anything left of the artwork in a few years time perhaps we'll be able to get 140 million USD for it!
