10. Or maybe, Only Corporations Want War

11. Beautiful photo but the tagline isn't accurate.

Lots of citizens want war too.

13. Don't forget corporations and hedge funds! nt.

15. Yep. The people with the lighters and matches

were part of a giant street mob, not 'the government'. (pic from BBC video last year)

Somehow I don't think they'll like the photo of the wrestlers too much. Pretending as if we're all looking for the same peace, but gov'ts and corporations are in the way, is just self-delusion.

19. I will too burn

The flags of countries who have in the past supported debilitating sanction on my country and who are looking to pass new such sanction to my country.

Seeing how the sanctions against Iraq killed 500k+ kids, I would see any sanctions as an act of war.. So next time, just blame the people imposing the sanctions and not the little guy reacting to it.

12. That is indeed a great photograph.

[joshcryer]

14. Sadly the majority of Americans support targeted killing.

So yeah, there's that.

16. And so it has been for many years. . .

Jesse Owens enjoys a moment with Germany's Luz Long during the 1936 Olympics.

(Google the story of the '36 Long Jump competition. It may be apocryphal, it may be myth, but in every instance it's compelling.)

17. Meaanwhile,we are starving their children...

18. Someone needs to strip off the tag line - pic stands on it's own better.
