War President

Joe at American Leftist has created this stunning collage of our Commander-in-Chief. It is called "War President" and is created from the faces of the US war dead in Iraq. You can see the faces in detail by looking at the full-sized version, here.

Let's not forget that thanks to President Bush's "War on Terror" Joe could also have used the images of:

- over 3,000 dead Afghan civilians

- about 10,000 dead Iraqi civilians

- probably 10,000 dead Iraqi conscripts

- over 100 non-US members of the "Coalition of the Willing"

And at the real ground zero of terror, where Bush really could have effectively confronted terrorism by brokering a just peace instead of waging an illegal war:

- 2940 dead Palestinians

- 872 dead Israelis

As Americans, we rarely see the faces of the dead foreigners in whose deaths we are complicit. But if we had a photo of each of them, we needn't stop at a collage of Bush. There would be so many faces we could do Cheney and Rumsfeld, Perle and Wolfowitz, Powell and Rice, Blair and Howard and Aznar, and all the other crooks who lied us into their bogus "War on Terror".

Thank you so much for this great blog.
double thanks for the last paragraph. Indeed, We rarely read from americans talking about dead non-Americans. You're part of this America we love.

God damn it. Days like this, I wish I believed in Hell so I could condemn Bush to eternal suffering. Not real Quakerly of me, but we all have weaknesses...
