mercy--could one not have rendered a similarly affecting image without desecrating the memory of those young men that fought so bravely in WWII?? This hit a nerve.
i got it from Matt quite a long time ago -- don't know who the artist was. Pawns in a rich man's war, though, Danilo, listen to the Dylan song I burned you. It's not they who are being desecrated ... there is no choice for soldiers, though the memory of cnn footage showing marines atop fallen saddam statues and posting u.s. flags in their places just seemed a little contrived in contrast to the then real thing of iwo jima.
