And a boulevard.
"PRISTINA, Kosovo � Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name."

Are there any more foreign capitals with statues/avenues of US presidents? Anyone know? |

Not sure if it counts, but if I recall there's a shrine to JFK at Runnymede and I wouldn't be surprised if Berlin also had a statue somewhere. |

They should put that statue in Rwanda. So all the locals will have the opportunity to piss on it. |

There already is a statute to the great Cigar.

On February 2, 1997, a life-size bronze statue of Cigar was unveiled at Florida's Gulfstream Park on "A Salute to Cigar Day." |
