I admire this and an amazed by it. The end product is breath-taking, and the symbology is so valid it makes you dizzy with rage at this #@!!##**. Fab.

FANTASTIC (the painting) and GENUIS (the idea) A big big big V

So sorry, hands full of talent, head full of poop.....

Big idea and illustration

Very fitting considering the recent tragic events. My sorry is lightened by this excellent piece. Thank you Turin. VOTE*

This is extremely well done and well said...Bravo.. the hottest place in hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality ........galligari ...

I can admire artistic talent and respect the rights of free speech while still mourning the completely wrong thinking motivating it here. And I find it ironic that the bible is quoted (albeit wholly out of context) here in an attempt to attack Bush, when it is his liberal opponents doing everything they can to ensure that any reference to faith is torn out of society altogether...

Why no other world leaders with tons of weapons? No Korea, No Russia, No UK, France, China, etc., etc., etc.,.?

Excellent Art! I beleive a lot of people are waking up to Bush. E & V

LOL, shame about his figure, despite all that bike riding. Excellent work. (He's yelling at his hand...is he on meds?)

Gawd, I wish every right-wing, religious fanatic would just disappear and let the world evolve and grow...they just hold everyone back from reaching a more enlightened reality. They just want to stay in the dark, middle ages.....sheesh. I think this illustration says a lot about the frustration with, and backward thinking of, the Bushes and their religious cronies....

I love when people start in with the "You're unpatriotic", or quoting that multi-version man-made tome "The bible", and pass it off for the word of God! Such fear! This man is merely exercising his God-given Democratic right to express his opinion. Since we (America) feel we should be the ONLY ones to wield such weapons, and yet we are the ONLY nation to have nuked another nation.....I will have to agree with this artist! You are my NEW hero! This is awesome!! Instant fav! Bravo!!! p.s. It's interesting how often the bible is miss-quoted, when people don't agree.

Amazing artwork. Bush is an intellectual midget with an enormous Napoleonic complex, and the way he is going he is dragging this country straight down the toilet. Assuming he doesn't manage to instigate World War III and put an end to humanity once and for all. And for all of Bush's so-called "faith", that is one section of the Bible that he has apparently never read.

I think you're insulting Napolean ;)

BRAVO!!!! He just doesn't quite look right without that stupid smirk! :) Instilling fear to hold power is a very old trick. Too bad it is still so effective. And the thumping drones on and on...

ohh.. ton message est puissant...ton illustration est tr rssi.. nice job..

You LIBERALS never cease to amaze me. Incidentally - I'm saddened that you and (obviously) several others are soooooo completely warped in how you see the world today. Some day we will be forced to live under the rule of you left wing fanatics and I shudder to think of the concequences. President Bush has my admiration - my respect - and for the most part he's doing an incredibly awesome job - and as far as you left wingers go - I really feel sorry for you.

Is it just me or is there some new wierdness in people who think that if you don't like the actions of a political leader you are attacking the entire country? I have many American friends who are terrified of the rapid changes to the constitution and their basic freedoms. Shouldn't art speak of the times? I think this piece is still very topical. VOTE

Great work, the expression is particularly alarming. To the "right-wingers"; is there anything that Bush has done that you will accept is scared? It's not like he was caught picking his nose or kicking bunnies or something! Are you suggesting that we should forget the WoMD lie? Come on! People are still dying because of it, mothers are still crying for their lost sons and America is day by day being viewed more and more blackly by the rest of the planet we live on, or had you forgotten that there are other people and therefore other opinions in this word aside from Bush and his necrophiles? Don't stop Turin - this site needs you so we DON'T forget!

Ouououou!!! Bush!!! Go your home. Fine atr!

Very cool work....

Hello everyone and thank you for ALL of the above comments. I am always interested in the discussion on both sides of the spectrum (and hopefully the myriad of in-betweens. As I expressed this is an 'old' piece from my original gallery under the name Turin_Turambar so I am gradually re-posting the most popular images along with my new work. Aside from that, I don't consider this an 'old' topic - quite the reverse. I am often surprised by how soon we are asked to forget things that have shaped our age. @ zorares who asks "why don't I show other world leaders in this picture?", well as far as I am aware the Bush administration is the only world power that informs the world it is frightened of other nations weapon stockpiles, lies about those said weapons, claims it is going to disband the weapons of other countries whilst holding itself the largest stockpile of weapons in the world! @ JRParz - Why do you assume I am a 'Liberal'? I am guessing that has come to mean a very certain and definable viewpoint in your philosophy. May I respectfully remind you that opinions are not like shades of colour; they can be more to them than single perspectives. * @ servo - I am not quite sure why you think the quotation is "out of context", as the whole passage is devoted to the supposed Christian attitude of 'love thy enemy'. I don't remember reading about Jesus sending in the troops to liberate him from the cross. I am not the one who claims to live by these teachings but Bush DOES. ** TO those who think I am sadly misguided in my attempted portrayal of Bush, I am not 'attacking' or 'bashing' him and his administration, I am satirising. If you are suggesting the President of the U.S.A is an untouchable subject and that expressing an opinion is a hateful thing then I am afraid you wont be concerned by the distant sound of goose-stepping...

Without Strength and resolve there can only be TYRANNY. If you do not believe this, go ask the ghost of those killed in, the nazi concentrention camps, the kurds gassed by Sadam, the killing fields of cambodia, and the gulags of the USSR.

...and those presently in Guantanamo bay without trial

May I respectfully point out the most recent news article ~ 'US President George W Bush has said he takes responsibility for government failures in dealing with the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Mr Bush said the storm had raised questions about the administration's ability to respond to natural disasters as well as terror attacks. The president has faced heavy criticism for the administration's apparently slow reaction to the devastation. The overall confirmed death toll in the hurricane-affected states is above 600.'

I agree with the things already said by Turin. Evereybody have the right and responsibility to comment on governmenting issues.

The best way for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.

Yeah beowlar I know, this is why Bush, Blair and Howard are all still in power and the 'Patriot Act' is unchallenged. Makes you wonder doesn't it? Can anyone say "Senator McCarthy"?

Wow! Where do I start? I know...BRILLIANT!! We are the only nation on earth to bomb another nation (A cilivian population) with atomic weapons! What gives us the right to dictate nuclear policy?!?!? Here is some history on the only atomic bombings: Some have claimed that the Japanese were already essentially defeated, and therefore use of the bombs was unnecessary. General Dwight D. Eisenhower so advised the Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, in July of 1945. The highest-ranking officer in the Pacific Theater, General Douglas MacArthur, was not consulted beforehand, but said afterward that he felt that there was no military justification for the bombings. The same opinion was expressed by Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy (the Chief of Staff to the President), General Carl Spaatz (commander of the U.S. Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific), and Brigadier General Carter Clarke (the military intelligence officer who prepared intercepted Japanese cables for U.S. officials); Major General Curtis LeMay; and Admiral Ernest King, U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, and Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet . So here it was, world war 2 was coming to an end, many of our top military leaders (Just listed) argued that the bombings weren't justified. The truth is we used Japan as a horrible testing ground, and as an example of the terrifying power we now yield. Now Bush wants to walk away from all our treaties? Sure, why not destroy the last shred of diplomatic respect we had? After all, if we don't like what "They" are doing, we can always "Nuke'm". Brilliant piece!!

Thanks for this information ATruePatriot, I was not aware of it. Thank you to everyone else for your interesting discussion
