Famous moments in history "It wasn't like the fall of the Berlin wall or anything like that"

Ok... now, anyone that's seen this particular scene in the movie "Control Room" and then hears this Simon Robinson (TIME Correspondent whose voice goes with this picture) has got to wonder what Simon is talking about. He says about a thousand Iraqis were out in Firdos Square to watch this statue be taken down. I saw maybe 30. And why would anyone be out in the middle of a war?
