I experimented a bit with Photoshop CS2 and a picture from James Montgomery Flagg and this is the result.
For a long time I wanted to make that picture, because it represents my feelings about the war in Iraq.
Consumption of oil wasn't the target. It was the trade of oil. And revenge (Bush made this clear even before 9/11 that he wanted to go to Iraq).
Iraq began trading its oil for Euros in 2000, which sent the dollar down (oil in OPEC countries is traded in dollars only) because the dollar is only secured by its purchase power. It has no gold or other commodity security. The US Government is heavy in debt.
And if one of the most sought after commodities in the world no longer needs the dollar to purchase, the dollar would not survive long as an international currency.

I am a writer, not an artist! So, don't tell me how much my pictures suck. LOL.
You will most likely never see any of my written works on dA as they are pending publication.

Food for thought.
