War poster
This project began in early March on a public design forum, in the midst of spirited debate over the then impending war in Iraq.

Why We Are Losing The War on Terrorism
Fighting terrorism is 90% intelligence and 10% action (a total reversal of traditional ratios). If this is the best our government can do, we are in for a world of hurt.
