  • حادثة ساحة الفردوس هي تفكيك وتدمير تمثال صدام حسين في ساحة الفردوس بالعاصمة بغداد أثناء غزو العراق في عام 2003، بواسطة جنود القوات المسلحة الأمريكية. لهذا الحدث أهمية سياسية ورمزية كبيرة. (ar)
  • On April 9, 2003, during the US invasion of Iraq, a large statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad's Firdos Square was destroyed by Iraqi civilians and United States Marines. The event received global media coverage, wherein it came to symbolize the end of Hussein's rule in Iraq. US government officials and journalists, citing footage of jubilant Iraqis jumping on and sledgehammering the statue, claimed the event symbolized a victory for the United States, but this narrative was undermined by the development of an Iraqi insurgency. A retrospective analysis by ProPublica and The New Yorker concluded that the media had exaggerated both the size and enthusiasm of the crowd, had influenced the crowd's behavior, and subsequently had turned the event into "a visual echo chamber" that promoted an unrealistically positive account of the invasion at the expense of more important news stories.
