American War Dead Peer Out from the Portraits of Their Killer


Two different initiatives have put the presidency of George W. Bush into perspective. At last count (in 2004, when article written), nearly 1,000 American soldiers were sent to Iraq thinking they were fighting for American security. They returned to America in boxes, hidden by their Government in the darkness of night. They now have their proud faces peering out from the portraits of the man who is responsible for their death.


The image on the left was created by "a group of us, concerned and patriotic Americans." According to their website, they began in February 2004, when there were about 400 fallen U.S. soldiers. Due to their busy schedules, however, they were unable to get together until June 2004 (by then there were over 850 fallen soldiers) to finish the image.

The image on the right was posted to a blog in April 2004, without much of a story or attribution.
