I like that piece of art. It is the perfect portrayal of our current quagmire in SW Asia. The only thing that would make it better would be if the strung up man on the big T, was holding a 5 gallon gas can from his impaled hand.
sigh. Don't you love it when one individual religion is presented as justification for entirely secular actions? I hate sh!t like this. It does nothing good for anyone on any side involved... this craps on everyone. As someone with dear friends currently deployed in Iraq, I don't like seeing a soldier presented as suicidally self-sacrificing; as a Christian, I don't like Jesus' crucifixion portrayed as being akin to a soldier ready for battle; as an American I don't like my military presented as having anything remotely related to a religious crusade.
