I'm an American, a proud one to be sure; but not a "America can do no wrong" fanatic, nor am I an appologist.
CNN shows a new Osama bin Laden tape, he threatens new attacks in the heart of America. All he's gonna accomplish is a backlash against Arabs & Muslims.I'm locked and loaded, let's get it on!
The idea is: Love YOUR Country/Flag! As a society, regardless of national orgins, apply your moral values pertaining to human decency, to enable YOUR neck of the woods to be a better homeland for your people.
Thanks for comments if any, do be safe cruisin'

Very beautiful image. Love the flag design. I saw bits and peices of the news this morning and the Al Quada tape. I'm not surprised about more threatened attacks. It's always the same. What is crazy, don't know if you watch Chris Mathews, but people in third world countries wear Osoma Bin lauden on their hats and shirts like he's a hero. :( Makes you sick. Anyway, awsome work!

Saz, Awesome image! I love my country. I can't hear the Star Spangled Banner' without getting teary-eyed, (yeah, its a girl thang!) Seriously, it is more than that. Too many people have paid too high of a price for our freedoms and the rights we do have. I don't trust our government, and haven't for years. Ever notice how the victors tend to rewrite history in their favor? There is a lesson in that. As to what MariaAJMD commented about the people in 3rd world countries wearing images of Osama Bin Lauden on their hats and shirts, well, if you take a look back in just the last 60 years, a lot of dictators were considered 'heros'. Lenin, Marx, Mussolini, Hitler. Charisma, false promises, hunger and poverty play in to it big time. Promise the people anything, but then when the office is filled, it is a new story. Any one remember these fateful words? 'Read my lips, no new taxes'. Leann

I love the way this looks. The flags and all. The girl you pick I think looks like many nations in one person which is America. This one is super.

oh gawd...sazz...i love this artwork and what it represents - keep up the good work - semper fi! always remember: a coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies but once.

"Ignorence is bliss" as they say. Not withstanding that the artwork and technique is very good. However, Osama is not the person the US needs to fear. It's the millions of others that think the same way. Killing him will not make any difference to the problem. If the US stops exploiting and pillaging the rest of the world then maybe there will be some hope.

Oooooh. Looks like my comment has touched a nerve with a few here. I never mentioned terrorists nor the support for them. I find it amusing that MrM may disagree with my comment and fight for the right to express it but in the same breath call it moronic..............This is the last I'm going to say as whatever I do say will be misconstrued.

Just for the record, Leann, Marx was a philosopher and sociologist, but never a dictator. Other dictators (Stalin and to some extent Mao) abused his concepts for their own gain. As for the flag, nice pic, but in all due respect, having the girl hold it this way is disrespect to our flag...it is only supposed to be displayed in the proper (i.e. on a flagpole) fashion - in fact, if the flag touches the ground and gets "soiled" the proper action is burning (of the flag that is.) No offense to anyone, and, yes, I am an American and I love America - this is a great place to live, so long as you're not poor, and this country has produced some of the greatest minds, inventions, technologies, philosophies, and art that this world has ever seen. It is sad that the "Read my lips, no new taxes" liars who run this country have taken us down so many wrong paths, and have meddled in the affairs of others which has in turn led to violence against us. One more for the record, America helped Bin Laden with weapons and money when he was fighting the Russians, and helped Saddam Hussein with weapons and money when he was fighting the Iranians. The smart owner does not teach his dog to bite, lest the dog turn his teeth on the hand that feeds...

Wonderful art! This Great land is being run (Ruined) by a bunch of money and power hungry UNGodly thieves! George W. Bush is NO Christian and he is tricking the American People only to advance the agenda towards New World Order. Destroying the Middle Class and the average American, he has neglected the poor while coddling the rich! The war on terror is bogus, its all part of their master plan. Hitler staged the Reichstag fire, and Bush staged 911. Bush and his evil men and the Illuminati above him want complete power and are out to destroy this country as we have understood it! Another Attack will happen before this man leaves office and Martial Law will occur. Actually, Bush (King of the North.) may NOT leave office,if martial law does happen.

You don't have to take any flak from anybody about your beliefs SAZ, that is what makes this country great... Freedom of Speech!
