Is this inappropriate, or right on target?

Personally, I think its an ideal proposal for the future Iraq War Memorial.

1. BRILLIANT!

I wish I'd thought of it. Thanks for sharing.

2. You got it

rec.

[bigscott]

3. i have mixed feelings on this

perhaps if it was Bush/Cheney/Rummy doing the lifting it would be more appropriate.

I think our soldiers are just doing their jobs - they don't want to be there any more than we want them to be there

peace

[truth2power]

7. I would say not Bush/Cheney because..

it's our own soldiers who have done the "heavy lifting" so that the monsters who rule this country could enrich themselves.

[Cosmocat]

27. YEP ...

spot on truthfullness ...

But, just not good to have the soldiers as part of this visual ...

Good suggestion to have the "brains" doing the actual lifting ...

4. pretty much sums it up right there

[begin_within]

5. If they added blood dripping from it that would complete it.

[dysfunctional press]

6. what a great tribute to Operation Iraqi Liberation...O.I.L.

8. -kick for the afternoon crowd-

[TexasObserver]

9. it's perfect. I think there's a cartoon to that effect out there.

[Squatch]

10. Only problem...those aren't Marines.

[pleah]

11. You got it right IMO.n/t

[lonestarnot]

12. Perfect.

[LostInAnomie]

[Vincardog]

15. right on target

17. Very good.. kinda goes with this, doesn't it?

[OnionPatch]

18. Inappropriate?

What our government is doing to our soldiers is inappropriate, not someone pointing it out through their artwork.

My husband has this picture framed in his office. Or at least a very similar one.

[SpiralHawk]

19. What about a statue for the Republicon Chickenhawks who lied us into the Oil Crusade?

Maybe this could be sited adjacently...

[dems_rightnow]

20. Very clever

I like it.

[Prophet 451]

21. I'm torn

On the one hand, I like the sentiment. On the other, it seems slightly disrespectful to be the poor sods getting killed over there.

[Cleita]

22. I would add some red blood to those soldiers with puddles under them

of blood that has dripped down. Maybe that might be overkill though.

[WhiteTara]

23. THAT is a magazine cover!

Brilliant! This is truth...no irony, no sarcasm, no satire.
Thanks

[DCKit]

24. Yeah, it would be impossible for either side to find fault with that one...

on the cover of the New Yorker.

We could just shut the hell up and watch the Republics dig themselves deeper and deeper with every Faux outrage and (in)conceivable excuse for what they've allowed to be done to the country.

[raccoon]

25. I'd rec this if I could! nt

[spanone]

26. that says it all

[Marrah_G]

28. No, bad, bad idea

Great picture.

But not a good thing for a Memorial statue.

[Brewman_Jax]

29. Excellent!

:thumbsup:

That was the reason for the invasion in the first place.

30. It's nice, but it will draw critics like a corpse draws flies if it sees too much public light.
