Last summer, the U.S. civil administrator, Paul Bremer, said: "We dominate the scene and we will continue to impose our will on this country." But by early November, it had become absolutely clear that the U.S. could not hope to rule Iraq by fiat for a matter of years, as the Bush administration had earlier envisioned.

Good laugh...your stuff is edgy as my nerves. I cannot get enough of your humor, a bit rash here and there...but thats what gives your work the appeal. This is serious newspaper shock art. Keep up your work and ideas, Ill keep an eye out for them. I would buy the magazine/paper your work will come in, just to see your ideas/art.
Backwards Flag? Where? The U.S. Army flags are stitched on that way, so as if the flag were flying, it would mean the soldier was running tward thier enemy/objective. In stead of the flag being the oppisite way, the flag would be facing the other direction (stars on the left) would donate that the soldier was running away from the objective. (ofcourse reading that things should go from left to right as you read words.)
