Now put away that pin! @Annb - I wonder if it was the best kept secret in the US? @Darlene - You might not be alone with those thoughts! @Magpie - The squandering of that goodwill makes the job of the present leaders in both the US & UK all the more difficult.

Do I smell a conspiracy theory starting? Did our last disaster for a president (aka: language impaired Bush) keep it a secret in case he wanted to invade Russia? NOTE to FBI; Just kidding. It's a very beautiful statue and it's simplicity conveys the message beautifully. I, too, had never heard of it. Do I smell a conspiracy theory starting?

It’s a very beautiful statue and it’s simplicity conveys the message beautifully.

Art is so subjective isn't it? Frankly I'd feel a little embarrassed if I had to polish it!

A pity that the USA managed(with Britain's help) to lose so much of the world wide goodwill and sympathy that atrocity engendered. I have to say that my first reaction was to wish I had a big pin to pop the balloon It’s beautiful……

It's also a very beautiful sculpture. I never heard about it either when I was in NYC last July. I'm surprised it isn't more widely publicised as an obvious tourist attraction.
