Swade - that's one fine image, and IMHO it does a fine job of expressing your essentially peaceful wish to see people get back home safely. I won't tire anybody with my views on the matter, all the essential points have already been made in a thoughtful and civilized manner above, but I'd strongly suggest continuing one's study of the tragic situation on www.medialens.org, or www.fair.org. If you are pro-war, their conclusions will offend you, but they offer facts that can be easily corroborated by otther sources (web and otherwise). If you are anti-war, their conclusions will depress you, but they offer facts... Either way, you will find many subjects worthy of being expressed artistically. I hope those who have the guts and talent can and will do so.
