FWI: The United States Imports only 18% of it's oil from the Middle East. Guess How much is from Iraq!? The rest is from Canada, Mexico and the MAJOR source for imports for the USA is Venezuela! Europe, on the other hand, gets the majority of it's oil from the Middle East (guess how much from Iraq!? A Lot!) and the North Sea and Russia. So why the hell is there an American Flag in this image? We sure as hell ain't going to Iraq over OIL!

I have absolutely nothing against images with a strong sentiment or a thought provoking nature. However, if the objective of this render is to deliberately spark controversy... then we move this to a more appropriate gallery. Compositing work needs improvement at the edges. A better anti-aliasing would also help.

Learn your geography - I hit Northern Iraq, and there aint no compositing here. And someone should really learn to read between the lies (I did that on purpose), because the war sure isn't about nuclear weapons removing a dictatorship or fighting terrorism. Thanks Moe for pointing out that maybe it should go in another gallery, it is not me trying to spark a conflict, I was merely saying what I think, no one has to respond, art afterall is about expression. I tried to fit a Union Jack (it isn't only Bush to blame) but I couldn't see where to put it.

Thanks a lot for sharing this picture.

Nice image people only get worked over the truth and we are going to iraq because bush needs some kind of win on his belt to get in office again.

War sucks !!! Violence sucks !!! Terrorism sucks !!! Your Pic is cool

I did not vote for Bush and hate war with a passion but if that Saddam is sick enough to gas his own people, what else he can do? I don't want to wake up an see a mushroomcloud out my window because no one stopped him. Your pic is excellent.

If the syringe didn't have a shadow, then it wouldn't look realistic enough - interesting point about it going over Tibet, are you suggesting I should have positioned it so it fell, say over China, and the rest of the middle east?

I like a lot. Thanks for sharing ;-) No war.

You are entitled to express your opinions, whatever they are.

Hi there punmaster, thanks for the hint for your picture! I like it a lot. And they agree with my thoughts about this stupid war. get saddam! but save the peoples! Why doesn't they understand. The people in Iraq are mostly dislike this dictator too, but they can't speak. This land need help, not war! PS: yes punmaster, i'm german

Love this one! Nice pic, with a great message.

No... I'm not sure if it's supposed to be almost completely black or what for that one part, but it looks like there's another shadow at a different angle in there, and it kinda looked funky to me.

I just feel sorry for the poor sodds who have been brainwashed into believing that this incipient war is about world peace rather than oil.

I am taking more into consideration the threat of America killing innocent people, than the lying about biological weapons (once more on America's behalf). But yes I agree Saddam is a tyrannical maniac, but you're not going to get rid of him by blowing up his country, now are you?

I'm done, you can have the last word. It won't matter anyway. Goodbye

In many cases I have gone off a meal because I didn't want to even taste the trash that McDonalds serves up. Starving? I suppose as an American you would know a lot about that, after all lots of the suffering is due to sanctions imposed on Iraq. Please I beg you all as, Americans leave Iraq and the rest of world alone! So mr Je_Kuthiel, why don't you start protesting with us against the war, so you can save American lives. Of course it is not the American/British populations that benefit from this war, but the British and American politicians and businessmen. I like it how you said "taking over Iraq" kind of some it up for me. Get rid of tyrant, and give them another one. Good on you!

punmaster why would anyone wish to protest ridding the planet of a tyrannical oppressive mass murdering dictator like saddam, unless of course that style of government appeals to you. Fortunantly for America it doesnt appeal to most Americans.

This image sucks! The idea behind it stinks even more! Punmaster your'e a moron, if you hate Americans so much, why don't you boycott American inventions such as PC/Mac, TV, and cars! Answer you Idiot!!!

Once Again, Peace for all People inocent in this World!, the war is terrorism also, the violence always creates more violence!! We knows. The "Real Peace" is defended with the Life, the truth and the force of the reason, not with violence, either with the reason of the force. Peace, Peace, No to war-terrorism.
