This speaks to Bush’s war as the similar outrage of Vietnam, it speaks of who we have become for despatching our own ideals so stupidly. Finally, it depicts our shooting ourselves; not in our own foot, but in our ability to reason, think, plan, and survive.
Most appropriate political cartoon I have seen in these neo-conned years. Very well done, thank you!
Kew, I see the point clearly as being; we have become our own enemy, losing our morality very much in keeping with what that original Vietnam photo brought to our attention. Our acceptance of torture, of killing, the ending of habius corpes, the loss of who we are supposed to be as Americans. This one really tells it all, "you're either with us, or just like us" and dipicts the sad conclusion to the American dream now turned into nightmare.

The first one. But why not the official "... with us or against us"? Am I missing the point?
(besides: Did you ask Eddie Adams for the copyright? ;-)
