Sculptor Edwards said he was inspired by Germany's love for the bear as well as their stance on military action against Gaddafi. The idea came to him after Germany announced it would not join United Nations-backed operations in Libya. 'I guess the idea is that Knut helped raise the conscience of Germany, I feel.'
'Everybody embraced Knut for a reason, and they understood the meaning of Knut. Knut was more than just a pet, or a zoo animal. Knut was a symbol of global warming perhaps. So I thought the situation with Gaddafi for Germany was the antithesis of what Knut was. I guess I kind of felt Knut was watching over Germany to make sure that Germany's conscience stayed elevated.'
Edward's 11-year old sun Rodman is sculpting Gaddafi's head. Edwards has achieved some notoriety for his controversial sculptures. Previous works include a statue of Britney Spears giving birth, Angelina Jolie breastfeeding her twins and a dead Paris Hilton wearing a tiara and holding a mobile phone.

Right... Because standing by and allowing a nutjob to kill innocent people who don't agree with him is what having a conscience is all about. Oh... wait a minute. This is Germany we're talking about. Maybe some things never change.

His sun?
I feel pity for those innocent people who were involved in the war. Perhaps helping hand in hand might help. The victims should have a specific place to go through to avoid that undesirable war between countries.
