world wide...every overpass and on billboards. Bloomberg should put up some money to do this worldwide.
On edit: I would love to see this have worldwide affect - one little boy asking for peace...

Martin Richard's "No more hurting people. Peace" picture was made in response to the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Plus you had the bomb go off close to a contingent of Sandy Hook elementary survivors.
And you had Carlos Arrendondo, who had previously made headlines when in a moment of extreme grief he set himself on fire after learning his son had been killed in Iraq, as one of the heroes of the bombing, helping to rescue injured victims.
